9. It's also just plain wrong and full of holes

Skill and work ethic?

1. Skill and work ethic - but believing one won the lottery?
2. No delving into what exactly the difference between happiness and the pursuit of happiness is
3. No such thing as a "bad job"? Let's see here; hitman, human trafficker, drug runner, arms trader, warlord, soldier of fortune, Republican legislator, working in anything with "Trump" in the name, person who lays down landmines, etc. Pretty sure there are some bad jobs out there.
4. Any job can be done with passion and enthusiasm - You also need compensation, tools, time, and energy
5. Safety is your responsibility, it is also your coworker's responsibility, it is your workplace's responsibility, it is your manager's responsibility... no, there should be minimized danger if all rules are followed, this whole "there could still be danger even if all the rules are followed" is just claptrap
6. But not every meaningful task there is?
7. Whining and complaining are two ways of how things get done in the world, like it or not. If they didn't work, then nobody would do them
8. People really shouldn't say that second part... That just means google it or watch some youtube videos. "Whatever sources are available to me" makes me think that the person who wrote that thinks Breitbart or Gateway Pundit are part of those "whatever sources"
9. We're all products of both a little bit at the least. Kind of also contradicts #1.
10. No! Why does one have to be OK with that?

In general: Beliefs are not skills, and these are just dogmatic and frankly unhealthy opinions that the person who wrote thinks everyone should share with them.

It also looks like #13 was added on by someone else, just find that kind of interesting.
