66. The AmeriCANTS in this thread...

May 2016

Gnashing their teeth...some of these people are REALLY hardcore on the Can't thing. So much so that they actually seem to be upset that somebody suggests we actually can.

It would suck to have that approach to life.

The oddest part is they don't seem to get its not actually about getting it accomplished. It's about believing you can and attempting to make it a reality. Failure seems to be a major fear for AmeriCANTS. So their message is don't even try.

I don't have any AmeriCANTS in my massive circle of friends. Now I remember why. Nobody likes the fear of failure people mucking up peoples goals.
