So the udesirable turd in the punchbowl might actually be a discarded candy bar-- something desirable and quite sweet. My natural inclination is to be the turd/candy bar, although my nose has been chopped off for it a few times, so I tend to keep my mouth shut when I sense lack of acceptance of my point of view. I have trusted people I can share my views with, though, which is helpful. I'd love to feel less hamstringed in sharing my opinions, but I have to consider the impact of my actions on my colleagues in addition to myself. I can hold my own over a some constructive disagreement, but I don't want to cost people money and good will just to fight a battle whose time probably hasn't come yet. Perfect!
