Comments about ‘Balancing act: After 6 months in a new job, it's still hard to be patient’

Thank-you for last weeks and this week's article Mr. Kratz; for last week's you should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize (take October off in case you need to fly to Sweden). Last week's was about how to show respect to others (when they hate us) in the work place, today's on how to show the same respect to ourselves (when we feel clumsy and dumb.) I consider your words scripture (since the sriptures are silent on office politics) unless we consider these words to the faithful in the New Testament "Ye shall be hated by all men" -- words probably just for me as it relates to the jobs I've had. And Phillippians 3: 2,3 come to mind as well, "beware of evil workers;...for we (who) worship God......have no confidence in the flesh." When to argue and defend ourselves and when to just keep quiet (which makes some people even more mad) ???
