Grudges

September 14, 1905 - Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers engage in a fistfight on the field during an exhibition game in Washington, Indiana, because Evers took a taxi to the park, leaving his teammates in the hotel lobby. The pair will not speak to each other again for thirty-three years.

Talk about holding a grudge. While still performing day in and day out in front of thousands of Chicago Cubs fans for years and years, they never spoke. They worked next to each other. Check your ego at the door and say you are sorry. Make it work. Forgive and move on. Don't hold a grudge, it gains you nothing. Then looking back later, you won't have to regret holding onto that hate for years. Nothing but wasted time and energy, not to mention the iternal stress it causes as well.

Get over yourself.
