~ People who project negativity typically have low self-esteem. They feel badly about themselves, and their negativity is simply a reflection of those feelings. ~ Hendrie Weisinger
Negativity sucks away energy. If part of the negativity stems from your attitude or perspective, commit yourself at the beginning of each day and each activity to find something positive in yourself and in others around you. If the people around you are negative and you can't change that, either remove yourself from the situation or view it simply as one obstacle you face in pursuing your own potential. Stay focused on your own goals and make the best of the situation. - Terry Orlick
This one relates to work and I have witnessed it first hand
Negativity is expensive. It costs companies millions of dollars each year. - Gary Topchik

Don't know who, if anybody of note, said or that I totally agree with that but I heard it over and over again during my fraternity days.

Making Excuses FROM: http://personalgrowthmap.com/
Excuses are attempts we use not simply to explain why we managed to fail, but to justify the failure, as though it could not have been avoided.
The motive behind excuses isn’t to overcome the failure, but to not feel guilty about experiencing that failure. We do this by:
- Blaming external factors (such as luck, the stars, the weather, our upbringing, etc)
- Feeling helpless and, therefore, trying not to be held accountable for the failure
I totally agree with that.
I also like this one:
All negativity is an illusion created by the limited mind to protect and defend itself!

Please excuse Jim today. He is constipated and is stuck on the potty.
I haven't heard Callaway issue a single excuse. What I've heard him say is on the lines of "We didn't get it done. We have to get better. We will work hard to do so."
