I think that it depends on the intended listener. If you’re dealing with someone with unrealistic pipe dreams and a bad attitude toward criticism, it’s some of the best advice you could give (even though it may very well fall on deaf ears). If you’re dealing with someone who struggles with mediocrity and has a self-defeatist attitude, you could be doing more harm than good in phrasing your advice this way.
Gauge the character of the person you are giving this advice to, and modify it accordingly. Personally, I would have phrased it, “fight like hell to see a good idea through to the end”.

Remember that between stimulus and response is choice. Viktor Frankl, a holocaust survivor, realized this in the concentration camps of Germany when he realized he could react to the awful things going on either in a positive or negative way. If you get upset and throw a tantrum, just recognize that you are CHOOSING to do this.
Also, remember that others don’t make you mad, YOU make you mad. We get upset with others because of the story we tell ourselves as to WHY they are doing what they are doing. When my wife get’s a little upset with me, I have learned to ask myself, “Why is she speaking this way to me?” I can make up a MILLION different reasons as to why her demeanor is the way it is. If I tell myself the WORST story, that she hates me and is probably going to cheat on me, then I get upset and behave irrationally. If I tell myself a BETTER story, such as she is just concerned and wants to make our marriage better, that makes me feel RELIEVED!
Our anger stems from the stories we tell ourselves, and our stories contribute to how we choose to react.

My company is going through a transition period where serious delays and problems are occurring for our customers. I am not able to provide answers to our customers and am becoming increasingly stressed. Me and my co-workers attitudes have been plummeting drastically. Are there any excercises or ideas to create a more positive attitude at work? All of us are continually berating the company and each other and no one is taking responsibility even for their own work. We are refusing to help each other on menial tasks. It is becoming dreadful to come into work everyday and I would love to try to find ways to increase morale so we stop chewing the company and each other down.
