Don't Kick the Puppy

We were all sitting by the fire the other night and this story came around, I felt I had to share.

(Thanks Ty)

The Commander was giving a speech at a comm call about moral. He said, "How many of you guys own puppies?" 90% of the people raise their hand. He said "Don't go home and kick the puppy." Everyone looked around confused. He went on to explain. If the commander comes in and says, 'ya know, this place really sucks. You guys suck!' The officers go down the chain and tell the NCOs 'this place sucks, you guys suck.'

The NCO's will go down and tell the airmen 'this place sucks, you guys suck.'

The airmen get the brunt of it and go home in a pissed off mood. He yells at the wife. The wife, in turn, yells at little Johny. Little Johny turns around and kicks the puppy. So if you have a bad attitude at work, it's your fault the puppy gets kicked. Don't kick the puppy!

He went on to ask who has cats? Some people raised their hands. He said "This place sucks!!"

Ahhh, a commander with a sense of humor. :)

Bottom line though, your attitude effects everyone around you. If you are down, it can cause other people to feel down. Chin up.
