I was driving to Truro the other day and thought I would listen to a CD on the way. So I listened to Jack Canfield's Success Principles.
Jack's first rules had to do with taking responsibility for yourself and not complaining. This got me to thinking about project management (of course...) and how those who initiate projects do so with an "opposite of complaining" mindset. That is, instead of going on complaining about something, they take a "let's get it solved" attitude and turn it into a project.
If you are a project initiator, congratulations on your proactivity.
