The people I respect most, have next to zero arguments required to speak as an authority in their field. Results talk. When someone says, "why should I believe what you say?", a wise individual responds by referencing their results. The question is: are the results compelling?

If you sow seeds of drama and negativity don't be surprised when your future is negative and dramatic. The reason useless negativity bothers me is because it fails to take into account a long enough time horizon. It takes YEARS to grow an apple tree. 30 seconds to chop it down.
