Post #13130 by mungofitch on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

It's one thing for us middle-aged/old people to stew in our thoughts, but if we’re also going to influence family, especially the younger more impressionable members, I think it's important not to rob them of their natural optimism.

I am by nature an optimist, and I retain my glass-half-full stance on life.

However I see myself as the sort of fellow who is whistling a cheery tune and waving at the neighbours while out front filling sandbags because of the rising waters. No matter what one's age, one can do both : )
