A typical day at work may not be what you would want a typical day to be. Just the way that last sentence is worded makes it sound negative. There is an old joke about a mom waking her son up one morning to go to school. The son tells his mom that he doesn't want to go to school. He tells his mom that all the teachers hate him and the kids make fun of him and that he hates going to school. His mom tells him "Son, you are forty two years old, you are the principle of the school and you have to go ."
Your typical morning may have so many problems presented to you. Everyone in the office may be so stressed out. The problems may seem so overwhelming that you push it off for another day. Meanwhile stress builds up. All the employees feel depressed and negative. No one feels like the ignored problems can be solved. For a business to succeed, you and your workers have to first want to show up to work. You want every employee including yourself when they wake up in the morning to really want to go to work. To look forward to going. You want every member of your team to feel like a winner and like the company is a winner. You need to create a positive attitude. Positive attitude brings positive results through hard work and through every member of the team looking for ways to improve the company. That will not happen if everyone gave up on the company. It has to be more than just an attitude. The companies problems can not be ignored. They have to be faced and discussed and together as a team to look for solutions. As you begin to face your real problem areas and find your solutions, with a proper go win it for the team attitude then your work place will be a more profitable and fun place to be.

A good leader is one who has the ability to do great things. he is very successful at what he does, he may even be the best at what he does. He also knows that he is the best. he believes in his own abilities to succeed and he is a just loaded with positive energy. His attitude toward himself and his attitude toward his job are so positive that everyone around him feels this positive energy and they also feel positive that he will shine at what he does and they know what an asset he is to the company.
Despite all of his wonderful successes and his record breaking wins he is just okey, good at best. he is not a great leader and he will not make a great manager. A great manager is a person that not only has everything we already spoke about but he teaches his coworkers and his employees how to fell like winners also. A good leader has positive energy. A really great leader knows how to transfer that energy to others. Imagine a football coach that is truly great at what he does, but his team does not believe that they can win. His team believes that couch really knows his stuff but that they do not have the skills to turn couches advice into a win. Now, instead imagine, a football couch that teaches his team the skills they need to use his information. In addition to teaching those skills, he makes them feel all winners. They have the skill and believe that they can win every game. What this couch did, the couch who is a great leader, was that he transferred his knowledge and skill and his positive attitude to his entire team. Now his players believe that their couch is a genius at game strategy and he has the team to carry out those plays to success and wins.

It seems like nothing is going our way and that the situation is bleak if not hopeless. It is times like these, it is important to stay positive.
Abraham Lincoln was a chronic depressive. He suffered from depression his whole life. If you see his early life you can understand why. He was born into poverty. He lost eight elections. He failed twice in business. He also suffered a nervous breakdown. Yet despite all his loses, he never quite. He saw himself as a winner and was always positive. Imagine that, a chronic depressive who had a positive attitude. After losing a senate race, Abraham Lincoln commented,"The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other one out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself. It is a slip and not a fall." After this race, Mr Lincoln went on to become our greatest president. Abraham Lincoln had his own half cup- half empty saying and it shows his very positive character. "We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."

Some believe that it is just an internal good feeling that in reality do not benefit a person at all. Well, the students at Harvard university seem to disagree with that critique of positive thinking. Harvard’s Positive Psychology 1504, taught by professor Tal Ben-Shahar (PhD), will enter the history books as the most popular course in the history of Harvard University. A course taught at Harvard on the effects of Positive attitude and it is Harvard's most popular course ever given.
This course is about the psychological aspects of life fulfillment and flourishing, by teaching about empathy, friendship, love, achievement, creativity, spirituality, happiness, and humor. Tal Ben-Shahar received his PHD in Organizational Psychology. In 2011, Ben-Shahar joined Angus Ridgway to confound Potentialife, a leadership development program that uses science to help organizations develop ideal leadership behaviour s and to bring positive psychology into daily lives. Ann Harbison said "Never let a good crisis go to waste." She expressed the dea that things do not always happen for the best, but a positive person makes the best from what happens. Patrick Callegham is a strong believer that exercise is beneficial to mental health, it reduces anxiety and depression and negative mood and it increases self esteem and cognitive functioning. Exercise can increase your productivity at work and your enjoyment in life. it can also keep you healthier and decrease sick days for a business. Dr Tal Ben-Shahar talks about being our personal best is a work in progress through our lives by working on our self esteem and health of body and mind. Which business would not benefit from employees who perform at their very best.

One bad apple (employee) can bring down the spirits and enthusiasm of the entire work force, so it is very important to recognize a bad attitude or an employee with depression.
Here are some facts. At any one time, 1 employee in 20 is experiencing depression. In 1989, depression cost the nation more than $17 billion due to time lost from work. There is no way to estimate the total cost of lost productivity. Clinical depression affects the total person―body, feelings, thoughts and behaviors―and comes in various forms. Some people have a single bout of depression; others suffer recurrent episodes. Still others experience the severs mood swings of bipolar disorder―sometimes called manic-depressive illness―with moods alternating between depressive lows and manic highs. A company that can quickly pick up when an employee has depression can save itself a lot of money and have a much happier and productive staff of employees. It is therefore important to know the signs of depression. Here are some signs that can be easily noticed. Decreased productivity Morale problems Lack of cooperation Safety risks, accidents Absenteeism Frequent statements about being tired all the time Complaints of unexplained aches and pains Alcohol and/or drug abuse If any of these signs are persistent for several weeks, it is time to request professional help for this employee. More than 80% of employees with clinical depression can be treated without missing any work. It is also very important to know how to approach an employee and talk about their depression and bring up the subject of them getting help. Never forget, that both in the work place and in your personal life, attitude does matter.

He believed that your thinking and your attitude affected the outcome. if you had negative thinking and did not believe that you would succeed then you would end off in failure. When you think positively, you will almost always find more solutions. When you are optimistic, you believe there is a solution to be found, and you free your mind to devise those solutions. Pessimism can lead to hopelessness and failure. “Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain” was another quote from Henry Ford. When Henry Ford wanted to start his automobile company he met with at least two failures and he lost his investors. They had lost their faith in him, but he did not lose his faith in himself. He had learned from his mistakes and was on his way to amazing success. “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.” , said Henry Ford.. Henry said that his early failures were a blessing. He learned from them, he learned things that he would not have looked for had it not been for his failures. "In fact, it is a curse to have everything go right on your first attempt." What a different attitude this quote from Mr Ford expressed than most of us have towards failure. His lesson was not to get overconfident, learn from your mistakes, and as long as you learn they are just a tool toward your final successful goal.

Back then, the belief was that telling s child the truth about how inadequate they were would give them incentive to settle for a lesser job or skill, which matched their lack of a talent. His mother would tell him,"I am afraid that you are just no good. I guess I will never be able to count on you". For most of his life, the Colonel worked low skilled jobs. He never believed that he could amount to much. He even had one job where he cleaned cigaret ashtrays. At the age of sixty five he worked twelve hours a day pumping gas. But his perception changed. He would eat fried chicken at restaurants and it always tastes like toothpaste to him. He believed that he had the best recipe. He believed that he had what it took to sell the most and best fried chicken he believed in himself. He developed a very positive attitude. It was not easy. He went to 1009 restaurants and everyone one said "NO!" to his recipe. A few years later he sold his stores for two million dollars. That was seventy years ago. "Don't quite at sixty five. Maybe your boat hasn't come in yet, mine didn't". That was a quote from Colonel Sanders. He was broke at sixty five but he had a positive attitude and as a result his life changed.

Being positive and having a positive attitude and positive thinking does not mean that you believe that every idea that you ever will have is a correct one. Some times having confidence in yourself means that you know when to quite. It is being self assured and strong enough to quit when you have failed at a task. Sony technologies, we all will agree is a very successful company. Akio Morita, who was the founder of Sony knew that he would succeed. He started his company making a rice cooker, that was terrible, It burned the rice and was a total failure. He gave up on this idea quickly and admitted his mistake. Never be afraid to cut your losses and move on from an objectively bad idea or situation. Have the confidence that a bad idea or several bad ideas or failures does not make you a failure. A positive person moves on and learns from his mistakes to eventually find his win. Akio Morita had a saying, "If you never had a failure then you never tried anything new." Successful people like Akio Morita and the Sony company did not look at failure more than anything but a stepping stone to success. They knew that they would succeed even when they failed. That first failure did not stop him from building a multi billion dollar company. Akio was very positive, you had to be a positive person to make the following statement about his companies new products, "It had to be something different, something that nobody else was making." The company had the belief that even when something was impossible and everyone told you that it was impossible, that you had to be so positive that you knew otherwise.

Look at the sunny side of everything & and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best. Forget the mistakes of the past & press on the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side as long as you are true to the best that is in you.” He was a African American pastor and he believed that you had to have a positive view of yourself and everything that you did in life had to come from a positive perspective. You had to change your mind sent to one of total positivity to be successful. he believed that you had a certain power that came from being self confident. even if you are at the bottom and down on your luck, you have to tell yourself, that you will be successful and that you will make it to the top. if you were to accept all the negative talk that others may say about you and if you believed it , then all would be lost. He strongly believed that 300 years ago when the black slaves were brought to this country that they were brought up with the concept that they were slaves and not as good as anyone else. Their own self view, which they were taught held them back. When the black community knows and believes that they can be anything they want and can achieve anything they want then they will have a power be successful. He wanted to go into the poor neighborhoods and build self esteem. people from the ghetto had to stop believing the lies that they were not as good as those from the rich community. that they could succeed in school and in business.

He also told me that he found it "interesting" that I considered my father as "a successful man".
Secret-of-success1 Certainly there are many people who have the same perception of the success that the young reader. For years they have perceived the victory as something that does not exist and have not received information about the true nature of success, as individuals, as entrepreneurs and as a society. Since I'm not an expert in these matters, I just dedicate myself to write my opinion on such issues, I suggest you review the dictionary definition of success, exactly as the young man says. In the dictionary of the Spanish language it says that success is a word of Latin origin on exitus meaning ("Exit"), and the concept refers to the right effect or consequence of an action or of an enterprise. Its root is more or less obvious by the context in which we use this word as many times expressed "excel," "out above the competition" and "out of the darkness of anonymity". He explains that success is a subjective and relative share, and is associated with the victory and gaining merit-based objectives. How I personally interpret success is when we plan the goals we want in life, whether medium or large, and we succeeded. We accomplished our planned goal. There are many who say that success is measured by the degree of satisfaction of having achieved a goal to my satisfaction. This is a feeling of success and accomplishment. It's a good internal feeling. This can only be described as a spiritual feeling. Our commercial and materialistic society these days establishes a relationship between success and material wealth or fame and celebrity. This perception is distorted. If you are not as famous as Justin Bieber or rich like Tiger Woods, then you feel unsuccessful. Those who are not satisfied internally when they achieve a goal, however small, are likely to have problems in understanding how success works. Success leads to a state of satisfaction but does suggest greater responsibility, more organization, discipline and working hard work without rest. Focus on the goal and the daily details and reinforce positive attitude. I recommend to all those who do not believe in success, or who fear success defined targets. What do they want in their life ?, Where do they want to go once they know what they want. Face your obstacles to realizing those goals and overcome those obstacles. Work with determination on the rail leading to the conclusion of those goals.
