b"A QUESTION OF ATTITUDE CHAPTER 3A QUESTION OF ATTITUDE Even though you love your job and your family, sometimes things get negative. You can get bogged down by an angry customer or a mischievous child, a miscalculation, or a feeling of lack of productivity.While it's easy to fall into a slump based on a negative experience, it can be just as easy to redirect your thinking to a more positive experience.Having a good attitude means being optimistic about situations, interactions, and yourself. People with a good attitude remain hopeful and see the best even in the most difficult situations.In contrast, those with bad attitudes may be more pessimistic and disagreeable and generally expect the worst outcome in difficult situations.The attitude you choose will determine your chances of success both at work and in your personal life.A POSITIVE ATTITUDEYour attitude determines how you live your life.

You will see the positive side of most situations.Surely you will face disappointments and failures more easily. They'll still be tough, but you'll get through it and bounce back. Not only that, but you'll be able to accept that things happened the way they did, rather than being in denial.Those with a negative attitude will dwell and ruminate on negative events.Germain Decelles97"
