It's not literally true, and not 100% true in any sense of the phrase, but I interpreted that as meaning that part of how you perceive your job comes from within; it's never just based on a cold and objective evaluation of the work environment.
If you're not predisposed to make the best of a bad situation, then every bad situation you find yourself in will seem like a dead end. In reality, some bad situations may even be opportunities for growth and change, instead of just being barriers to overcome. If someone has a particularly nonconstructive outlook, just about every situation might might seem like an insurmountable dead end.
