I am still searching for an…

I say, if you criticize, would you like to think of a solution?
It is no wonder, the biggest challenge we face today is not willing to work. It is not willing to work together. Among hundred, only a few people are willing to contribute and support. The place we work and live is surrounded by the complaining, undermining, discouraging, underestimating, ready to fire and point the finger at someone’s fall, ego clash, jealousy, judgemental, and possessive. In reality, I have not seen…
