When did we become a bunch of wimps? OK maybe that is a little general approach, but it does seem like we have lost a lot of our motivation to be great.
Today is -14 outside (-35 with windchill) and the world seems to think everything should stop. Is this the first time the temp has been reached - don't think so. Did our fathers stop when it got too cold? Nope. My dad still went outside and had to do the chores and make sure the farm was ok - it was cold, but his job never stopped. Sometimes it is hard, heck sometimes it just plain sucks, but life goes on.
Same with sales - sometimes it is awesome (when you close a big sale) and sometimes it sucks (getting thrown out of a company while cold calling) but it's my job.
Time to put on the big boy pants - or stay on the porch and let the big dogs run :)
