Camus on Living It
“You cannot make experience.
You must undergo it.”
–Albert Camus (1913–1960)
French writer
Nobel Prize winner
Sales thought (212 excerpt)…
The weather.
The traffic.
My boss.
My customer.
My mother.
My father.
My sister.
My brother.
I don’t have sufficient. But I really need. I can’t. If only [he, she, they] would.
It’s been a tough [day, week, month]. It’s [Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday].
212 approach: Be. Go forward. Conclude to complain.
Your words go others. Your words go you. Make yours send all in the right direction. Complaining once less a day chokes off 365 seeds of negativity a year.
212 commitment: Place a smile in the path of a complaint… once daily.
(or be two-twelve and do it twice daily… what’s 212?)

If you’ve not seen it, on a well-earned break, here’s a hilarious 4.5 minute video clip that speaks to the being "ComplainLess" (from comedian Louis CK on Late Night with Conan O’Brien from a couple years ago).
For a uncommon twist on complaints… 3 minutes from Monty Python’s classic sketch, Four Yorkshiremen.
