Disagree.  It's a way of looking at the glass.  Half empty, half full, 
enough, not enough.. whatever the case may be.  Too many people don't even 
take the time to really figure out what the glass is and the contents of 
said glass and whether it really is to their taste or not.

I can be frustrated by the processes under which I work, but if I start 
thinking that I'm a soulless cog in a machine, that is when the work 
becomes too stressful, unhealthy, and unsatisfying.  Sure there are issues 
to overcome, challenges to be faced on a personal and professional 
capacity at my job, but it's all a matter of perspective.  I effect change 
by first deciding on what I expect from my job, and then strive to act in 
a consistent manner towards that expectation.  Then I discuss the options 
with my coworkers/management/upper management.

I'm not anyone special.. but I can accomplish great things as can anyone 
in any aspect of their life.
