I spent 20 years in the mortgage business. During ten of those years, I had my own company. Nine of those years were with a business partner. He and I eventually broke up over a business disagreement:

Much of the negative stuff is put into our heads by ourselves. We look in the mirror in the morning and criticize every blemish and imperfection that we see. No wonder we go off into our day in a bad mood.
