Firemanship - A Journal For Firemen

The Lessons Are In The Ring

Firemen, not unlike fighters, have to engage in order to overcome their opponent or obstacles.

Do not give into those people who criticize you.

All they want to do is occupy space in your mind, control your thoughts, and manipulate your actions.

Cruelty is cheap, easy and a chicken shit tactic.

Do not try to win over the haters, you’re not a jackass whisperer.

Haters are everywhere.

Haters are your biggest fans, they just cheer a little differently.

Those who are talking the most shit, are doing the least.

Look for those doing the most, follow them, for they don’t have time to criticize, because they are getting shit done.

The lessons are in the ring. Not in the stands.
