Negativity in the scientific community

I was reading a wikipedia entry on Nicola Tesla and came upon these quotes.

When asked about Thomas Edison, his former boss, he said,

He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene ... His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 per cent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense.

On Einstein's relativity theory:

...magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king ... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists ...[

Wow!

Fight Negativity in the Office - Tip # 2

Develop a healthy outlook to fight negativity in the workplace.

God sent the office kontrabida to strengthen your faith in Him. The office kontrabida is the burden, the heavy cross needed for your purification.

Whenever the office kontrabida acts up, sincerely tell him/her this.

"Every time you do that, I am reminded that God loves me! Teynks!"

Fight Negativity in the Office - Tip # 1

An article written by Michael Tan touched on the office kontrabida.

The office kontrabida sows intrigues, fosters negativity in the workplace and demoralizes productive employees.

Mike Tan stresses the futility of dealing with the office kontrabida on your own.

Mike may be right but a hardworking employee can still fight a guerrilla war to counter negativity in the workplace.

Start by printing and distributing this leaflet to your colleagues, excluding, of course, the office kontrabida.
