One day he goes to the boss office (with his resignation) to say that your company is very good. It pays well but the internal environment of the company is very bad. Employees speak against each other and are part of a negative kind of competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Line followers people, fed up in this toxic environment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The boss thought for a moment and then told the employee, \u201cOK, I\u2019ll accept your resignation, but let\u2019s do something before that\u201d. The employee agrees and the boss tells him to fill the glass with water and take a full tour of the gallery. The employee fills the glass and walks around the gallery and then goes to the boss\u2019s office. Not a single drop of water fell down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/1%2A4Z03aLDb2qt_xzJQolvPLw.jpeg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@fauxels?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fauxels<\/a> from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/high-angle-shot-of-group-of-professionals-3183172\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The boss asks, When you had a glass in your hand and were walking in the gallery, did you see someone talking against each other? The employee responds in the negative. The boss asks further, did you see anyone talking to each other? The employee\u2019s response was negative. The boss tells him that it\u2019s not about the environment that it is negative. it\u2019s about how busy you are with your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It\u2019s not about the environment that it is negative. it\u2019s about how busy you are with your&nbsp;work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>He continues, you didn\u2019t even listen to a single word around you when your full concentration was on the glass to take it carefully and not fill even a single drop. There wasn\u2019t a single person in the gallery. Listen, if you were to freely walk through the gallery, you would notice that everyone is conversing with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t notice this negativity if you stay focused on your work and your objectives. If you become engrossed in this negativity, it indicates that you are not entirely focused on your objectives. You\u2019re not giving it your all when it comes to getting to your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more about&nbsp;life<\/h4>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/age-of-awareness\/purification-of-everyone-maybe-a-dream-not-a-reality-2da4260bcb4a\">https:\/\/medium.com\/age-of-awareness\/purification-of-everyone-maybe-a-dream-not-a-reality-2da4260bcb4a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Negativity is not a problem of this era only; it has been a problem of every\u00a0age.
