Downbeats Are Loud But Upbeats Win

first impression was great. wonderful smile, enthusiastic, glad to be hired, upbeat and positive. second impression, more of the same. fantastically caring, kind. Gets along with all of the like-minded staff members. third impression – friendly, honest, willing to pitch in and do without much direction. rumors swirled. She’s uppity; she thinks she is all that; she is too confident. TOO confident? I could not stop laughing. When she thanked me for standing up to the nay-sayers, I knew I was right. rumors died a natural death of course as there are more upbeats here than downbeats. because the downbeats are the loudest does not mean they win.
