There's No Whining in Accounting

I have addressed whining many times and from many angles on this blog. Just go to the search box at the top right and type in "whining" or "whiners" and you will find some blog posts to hopefully inspire you to ban whining at your firm.
Last week Hillary Clinton made the news. The headlines read: "Hillary Clinton trashes whiners." She was talking about women.
Here's an excerpt:
"I can't stand whining," Clinton told Marie Claire. "I can't stand the kind of paralysis that some people fall into because they're not happy with the choices they've made. You live in a time when there are endless choices… Money certainly helps, and having that kind of financial privilege goes a long way, but you don't even have to have money for it. But you have to work on yourself…. Do something!"
Are YOU or are your firm's women leading the whining parade inside your firm? How about a No Whining Allowed campaign beginning November 1st (and continuing forever)?
As an individual working inside a CPA firm, male or female, you have complete control over ONE thing -- your attitude. How's yours?
