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.
