Gratitude as driving force! You guys make me want to puke with your sanctimonious feel good delusions. Google is a money machine that is gobbling up many Web 2.0 apps and companies to challenge Microsoft. They paint themselves as altruists. How silly!

It's funny and pathetic. mike aronson altadena, ca. How ridiculous! Gratitude as driving force! You guys make me want to puke with your sanctimonious feel good delusions.

After reading the book "How Full Is Your Bucket? Positive Strategies for Work and Life" (Tom Rath, Donald O. Clifton) I both have more gratitude (I look for opportunites), and I act on those feelings by giving out cards, saying it, etc. Cheers! I really like the idea - thanks for sharing it.
