In today's era of high technology it important for any company to adapt and change. Can you imagine a computer company or a cell phone company that is selling the same model that they came out with five years ago? My dad had a gall bladder surgery performed twenty years ago. The surgery was a long one and he stayed in the hospital for two weeks and it was a hard recovery Today that same surgery is an out patient surgery. Knowledge and technology changes the way we do things at such a rapid rate. The winning company is the one with the latest technology first. For you and your company to be the first at discovering, learning and adapting to the latest in technology it takes a certain attitude. It is important for your company to hire people that have a positive attitude. you want an environment where your employees believe that they are the best and that they will remain the best. People that do not believe that they do not have the ability to be the best will not come up with new ideas. If the attitude in the company is that you will not get the support to do your research then you probably will not put in the effort needed to come up with that winning idea. If you work in a company where there are negative attitudes. Where employees do not like being in that company, you will not get your best from your employees in that situation. Employees will constantly be looking for a different place to work at that they actually want to be at. So employee turnover may be high. In an environment of negativity you will not find your team working towards any positive goals, there will not be any spirit of cooperation, sick calls from employees will be more common, no one will really try to utilize their skills to their maximum abilities.

The Kroger Co. is one of the world's largest grocery retailers, with fiscal 2014 sales of $108.5 billion. The Kroger Co. Family of Stores spans many states with store formats that include grocery and multi-department stores, discount, convenience stores and jewelry stores. A very successful company. However, this company has been awarded the number one spot by Forbes magazine. It's prestigious number one pick by this magazine is not for it's revenue collected but for it's belief in giving back to it's communities. It has given 11% of it's profits to it's foundation. The Kroger Co. Foundation continues our long tradition of working to make our communities better places.Through The Kroger Co. Foundation, they award millions of dollars in grants every year to local organizations that have been recommended by our retail operating divisions. In addition to supporting food banks, breast cancer organizations, and other organizations that help individuals achieve their full potential, the Foundation has provided financial support to a variety of other worthy grant recipients, Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation of Dallas to provide scholarships for Hispanic youth. The Julian Center in Indianapolis to offer shelter and services for women escaping domestic violence and their children. Open Hand in Atlanta to provide meals to home bound individuals struggling with AIDS and other chronic illnesses and disabilities. San Diego Coast Keeper to support of coastal cleanup efforts at Southern California beaches. Spokane Public Library in Washington for a summer science education program. This is just a short list of the many organizations that they are helping. A company that makes it money from the communities in which they are located and also giving back 11% to it's communities is an example that all companies should try to model. It would solve so many of social problems.

He was an Olympic champion. His calendar was booked as a professional skater. He was actually on tour when he was diagnosed with cancer. His doctors gave him a year to live at best. Scott had an amazing positive attitude that possibly saved his life. He is quoted as saying, " The only disability in life is a bad attitude". Scott believed that him getting cancer and almost dying was the best thing that happened to him. He started on a happy life after his survival and was very successful for his career. The Mayo Clinic says that a positive attitude has the following effects on your health: Increased life span Lower rates of depression Lower levels of distress Greater resistance to the common cold Better psychological and physical well-being Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress Scott Hamilton learned a lesson from cancer. He learned to respect each day and make the best of each and every day. He learned to enjoy his family. He learned to enjoy his work and make the best of it. He learned never to give up and knew if he did he would be a winner. " I would urge anybody to weather the storm, because on the other side of it will be something great."

At the age of 30, he engineered a coupod-etat in Paris and declared himself as Emperor of France a few years later. Napoleon's morals were not desirable, what we are going to discuss is how Napoleon's positive attitude made it possible for him to be so successful. One of his most famous quotes was, " If you want a thing done well, do it yourself." He believed that no one could accomplish a task as well as he could. He had full faith in his talents and intellect. This does not mean that his attitude alone win his battles. He was always prepared, studied the situation and was one step ahead of his opponent. "Impossible is a word only to found in the dictionary of fools", was another of Napoleon. Going into life with the attitude that something can fail will almost assure failure. General Eisenhower once said, when asked what would have happened if the Allies had been thrown back into the sea when invading Mussolini’s Italy, “it would have been very bad, but I never allowed my mind to think that way”. Success in life comes from believing in yourself and study and planning very well. “Imagination rules the world." was another of Napoleon's quotes. All the great achievers have had imagination. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Ghandi, the list goes on and on. To have imagination you first need to believe in yourself. You must have a positive attitude. Negativity closes the mind to clear thinking because the word "I can't" is in your mind and it blocks you from thinking clearly. Napoleon's positive attitude brought to success but he didn't allow himself to think of the pitfalls. A positive attitude can help you achieve success but it is important to be aware of the bad and adverse situations that you face. You can not allow the negative to cloud your thinking and get you depressed but you can also not ignore it.

There were times during the revolutionary war when it looked like George Washington was going to lose the war to the British. yet, he persisted and kept a positive attitude. "We should never despair our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better so I trust it will again. If new difficulties arise we must only put forth new exertions and proportion our efforts to the exigency of the times." Negative attitude can be so destructive it can destroy one's life and sometimes bring down a country or government. Richard Nixon was paranoid, he believed that people were always out to harm him. This attitude hurt what otherwise may have been considered a great presidency. In 1962 Nixon ran for the California governorship and lost. He made this promise, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore..." When Richard Nixon ran for re election for the presidency in 1972, he won by 20 million votes and 520 to 17 in the electoral college. He won almost every state. Why did Mr Nixon request the Democratic party break in when he had no chance of losing the presidency. He had such low self esteem and such negative attitude that he could not be assured of victory, even when it was so evident. As a result his government fell and he was the only American President to resign in shame. Another Republican President Ronald Reagan was called by many, the Positive Thinking Evangelist. Many in the Republican Party quote and speak of Ronald Reagan as the ideal for their parties ideas. To be finally understood, Reagan must be seen as a product of the positive-thinking movement. Indeed, it was Reagan’s song of the positive—as articulated in thousands of speeches as a conservative activist, California governor, and U.S. president—that, more than any other factor, made the principle of brighter tomorrows and limitless possibilities into the idealized creed of America. Reagan spoke of American greatness and when he did, people believed him.

At Harvard University their most popular course is on positive attitude. Below I would like to summarize a memo to the students at Ferris State University. The memo is titled "Developing a positive mindset: changing your attitude to change your life".
In summary, the University believes that in many instances the failure of a student to complete their course of study has to do with negative attitudes. For students to be successful in school a winning attitude helps. They write in their memo to the students that " attitude is everything". A student when he has difficulty has the option to give up or to say " I will find a solution". When things are not going well then admit it to yourself and change it. Change is always scary but less scary when you believe and trust yourself. People who are depressed find it hard to take corrective action and tend to allow a bad situation to linger on. Wake up with a smile and with energy. You have a lot to accomplish and enjoy today. Life is short, and you are going to make the most of this day, and every day after that. The nature of the human mind is to offer worries, anxieties and fears. However how often do these actually come true? The mind can easily exaggerate problems making them appear more serious than they actually are. Our thoughts are also very powerful and will determine our perception of the world. Bad times don't last forever. Say to yourself, "This too will pass." Even when difficulties are seemingly insurmountable there is no harm in smiling at our difficulties. When we smile it releases a chemical, serotonin, which makes us feel better. Also others will respond better to people who are smiling. Associate with positive people in your classes and on campus. I would suggest you partner up in study groups and even look to either socialize or join resume building activities clubs. High achievers, as do poor students with poor attitudes, rub off on anyone associating with either group. Students with positive attitudes have been found to be happier, to enjoy their studies and school more and to have more friends.

He was a pastor. His church had so many functions for helping about everyone. They had a soup kitchen. They were affiliated with a homeless shelter. They had a drug rehab center. They offered free family counseling. Low cost to free day care programs. They had a program where they got successful business people to volunteer and give advice to business in the low income surrounding neighborhoods. The church raised money to help people with their rent and for utilities and food. I could go on and on.
I once asked him, how he was able to pay his own churches cost if he was getting people to donate to all these other charities? Seriously, I thought that people will only give so much charity and if the pastor collected for s homeless shelter, then that money otherwise would have gone to the church. What he told me was very surprising. When he first started as a pastor in that church it didn't have any of these community programs. He tried to get his parishes to donate money and he got very little money. People always had an excuse not to give away their money to the church. He also only saw the church's cost and needs. One day, he saw some homeless people and he saw the real poverty and his heart went out to them. He decided to open a soup kitchen in the church and a homeless shelter. He went to his parishes to ask to donate for this cause. At first people were reluctant to give. So he brought the homeless into the church. The pastor started to change hearts and people started to give. Slowly the pastor's heart changed and he started to see the communities needs and he forgot all about his churches needs. The surrounding community became his community and he became every one's pastor. Everyone went to him for help and to help. The community was learning how to give and care for others. Now the amazing part, the pastor forgot all about asking for money to cover the church's needs. He didn't have to ask. The community when they learned how to care and to give charity, they just gave to the church without being asked. You see, when the pastor started to collect for others, his own Church's needs were taken care of.

I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car. Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car. I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me.
I have a married friend who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he would be kept on with the company,he was not even sure that the company would be around much longer. I felt so depressed being with him, it actually felt like I was at s funeral. I just wanted to leave. As much as he was my friend and as much as I wanted to give him the business, I could not. I had a responsibility to my own company to buy from a company whose product was reliable and a company that would still be there for us when we needed service on our purchase. Strange thing is, this happened over twenty years ago. My friends company is still operating. My friend is still with the company. His salary is low as he gets very few sales. His negative attitude harms himself and his company. I would never tell this next part to my friend. We are only friends because we grew up with each other as children. I hate having to spend time with him. He get me depressed and can ruin an otherwise wonderful day. I have said to myself so many times, how sorry I felt for his wife. If I had to live with him or listen to him for an evening , I would go crazy. His wife and children just seem so sad all the time. A positive attitude is inside of you. It comes out to those around you and effect them in wonderful ways. It can lead to better paying jobs, and a happier and healthier life. It makes people around you want to be with you and work with you. On the other hand a negative attitude can lose you jobs, lose you friends and harm all those around you.

Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." The above is a quote from Mahatma Gandhi. Being positive in life will enhance your life. It will give you a more enjoyable life and it will allow you to appreciate the life that you have. We all try to do our best at work and in relationships. Staying positive allows you to be more successful at almost anything you do. That does not mean that you will never make mistakes. You will make mistakes, it means that you will not allow those mistakes to cause you to be depressed or to give up. "Freedom is not worth having if it does not allow the freedom to make mistakes. If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to di it even if I may not have it at the beginning. Strength does not come from winning, your struggles develop your strengths, When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender that is strength." As you can see from Gandhi's words failure is not the end of the world, it is your future success's build blocks. Being positive means that believe things will all go well for you. That belief allows you to invest your time and money in yourself, in your business and in your personal relationships. Why invest in something that is not going to work? Of course if you are to invest in something you have to feel good about it. This positive belief is what gets you to give up some of your time and study for the future. It allows that college kid, to give up a party to study for a course. he knows that he is giving up anything that will not pay off. But being positive also means enjoying each and everyday as much as we can without harming our future. That can be a hard balance. "Live as if your were going to die tomorrow. learn as if you were going to live forever." I want to conclude by saying, that being positive is knowing that the real value is not in the money you have, but in your own self. Money may come and go, but a positive person knows that life will always be good, as long as they take care of themselves. being positive gives you the incentive to care for your health and well being, because you are very valuable.
