I see that in that mediocre presentation at work where no one cared, to the courtesy people lack on public transport, and I can only ask myself someone of my level whether to take either as a way of living. To live with people of a negative attitude demotivates you indirectly while living in your comfort zone, and having higher standards means living to the expectation of others stronger of your kind. Either way, it sucks that we have to choose one of them for most of us.
