And she said, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. voice-verified

Maybe somebody else is just having a bad day, so I try not to take things too personally. voice-verified

Their feeling about it to avoid the burnout is to look a little bit more inwardly for your satisfaction. voice-verified

If you're bringing what you need to work every day and maintaining your own good attitude, it takes care of some of those problems. voice-verified

Yes, it could. voice-verified

The happy warrior spirit isn't about saying there is no problem. voice-verified

It's about maintaining a spirit that says I can persevere through the problem. voice-verified

So it's not about covering up any issues in the workplace or not really raising problems for your manager to find out. voice-verified
