As you begin today, make a promise to YOURSELF -- about how you're going to view the folks around your work station... commit to a positive thought process as you encounter others throughout the entire working day. Simply ASK yourself... How can I praise others? See their ACTIONS as positive? Give a 'pat-on-the-back' for a job welldone. Become the Encourager - praise when due - be positive - then write down what happens as a result of your NEW attitude as a business cheerleader in your company. Someone has said... "there are ONLY 4 kinds of failures in the business world" -- 1. Failure to take RISKS 2. Failure to report errors 3. Failure to accept responsibility 4. Failure to BENEFIT For EXAMPLE... if -- YOU refuse to step off the curb at an intersection to cross the street... where YOUR job is located, you have failed to accept full responsibility for the obvious benefit which is DOING/keeping your job. These same failures can be the result of your not getting the important tools that can guide you in your new job/career search. Take ACTION - take a risk. Otherwise, you'll never reach forward and benefit from having a great job where you can make a valued contribution throughout your working career. Ask yourself - "what's holding me back?" Am I truly making wrong decisions and failing to get the full benefit because of fear? Only YOU know! |
