A Positive Attitude Transforms Lives

I learned a strange thing down in the islands years ago.  When I wrote about an experience in my “Island Notes,” people reacted poorly if my tone was negative, even in truth.  On the other hand, when I took a positive or light tone, even when describing a tragedy (finding that silver lining), my readers enjoyed what I had to say.

This illustrated something even bigger that I have come to learn:  People flock to positive people.  It can be one of the most important things you bring to your business or career-building efforts. 

My point:  No, don’t be a mindless grinner, but do offer hope and positive ideas rather than negativity and woe.  It can dramatically change your image and your fortunes … almost overnight. — jri
