Who cares about being grateful?
Isn’t thankfulness just for losers?

I'm not an overly religious person but that title seemed to be best for what I wanted to discuss in this week's community post.

Whether you're a minister, a politician, a salesman or a customer service person, or even if you just want to be a likeable person, I think…
