The thing is, people can't complain about profit-oriented moves if they're only interested in profit themselves. You can't have it both ways.

I have often been in the company of those who complain that they have no friends.

Such unavailability may be exterior in nature; that is, people may lack the time or the emotional energy necessary for friendship.

Douglas BoothCommit to growing yourself. Do not avoid problems and or complain about problems. Don't let them bother you.

Just stay present and handle one situation at a time with an open mind and an open heart. Trust yourself and in the universe that everything will work out in the end.

He was a Yankee who won twenty games in New York and a Yankee who didn't win twenty games in New York. For me, he's been there and that's what makes a good pitching coach. He's a good man, too.
Andy PettitteWhat is always overlooked is that although the poor want to be rich, it does not follow that they either like the rich or that they in any way want to emulate their characters which, in fact, they despise. Both the poor and the rich have always found precisely the same grounds on which to complain about each other. Each feels the other has no manners, is disloyal, corrupt, insensitive - and has never put in an honest day's work in its life.
