profound - work and life..

"The more you accept - the more you will get.
At some time we have to say - STOP!
Else we encourage and reward the behaviour that damages us."

can u imagine these are heartfelt words in a work scenario from a senior colleague of mine from UK.. these are regarding the challenges being faced by me (and as i realized others like him) and when he said it, i had to capture it. it is so true. so profound.
