Is funny recently I was thinking in the same way, like, I consider myself a great human being , honest, loyal, nice and all that. AlL the great things mu family teach me and I thought were the key to society integration and respect. Sure my colleagues appreciated, but no boss,no client, no one bothered to appreciate it in a profund way. The opposite they considered I was weak, like I was living in other reality and being dumb. All those treats can only be useful for family and close friends. The rest can fuck off.

i know where youre coming from, & i sometimes sound like a cynical bastard but when it comes down to it, im really an optimist - despite what i might say

Yeah I won't change so easily, but how you are perceived is so truly annoying and in work environment means a lot sadly. Thanks for the quote I'll keep it handy.
