Yes, there are often a lot of things to complain about in the workplace.
But if you want to progress, you need to be the guy that finds solutions. Not the guy that complains all the time.
Complaining a lot will likely take you off the radar for promotion
Everyone thinks things through when making a decision, but sometimes you just gotta get out of your head and get things done.
To progress, you need to be the doer, not the thinker
If you want to be a good manager one day, you gotta take personal responsibility.
Blaming others is the opposite of responsibility, and no one will trust you.
Not taking part in the blame game also reduces toxicity in the workplace
If you keep doubting yourself, you are unlikely to take the necessary risks and take the necessary action to progress.
It will also invite others to validate your doubts in an attempt to stay ahead of you.
I'm not saying dress for the job you want, not the job you have. That's very pretentious and can raise eyebrows.
But you should always wear finely pressed smart clothing, even without a set dress code.
This just shows you take pride in yourself
These people have their priorities all wrong.
Not only does this hurt people and make you look bad, it means you're not concentrating on yourself or the job in hand.
We overreact when we lose control of our emotions.
We all have emotions, but strong leaders always show they are in control of them.
People will look up to you for guidance when you can be in full control of an emotional situation.
You may be motivated now, but at times you won't be able to maintain that motivation.
Use your motivation now to build strong habits that you'll keep doing when motivation is low.
Many things are happening in the workplace that one person can’t control. That's why they hire different people for different roles.
You won't get anything done worrying about that, and you need to be the guy that gets things done.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
