A straight talker at work left me with this (you've probably heard it allllllll before!) - the workplace is full of radiators and drains. There are those who radiate and those who drain.... whihc do you want to be? It really puts a grumpy monday morning in perspective! Hi Alex,

However, by being ultra positive in the way I approach these, really makes a difference and I approach the task for what it is but with an energetic and focussed spirit, seeing the end result as a real accomplishment and beneficial to the company I work for. This makes the job nicer to handle and sets out a clear objective and reason for doing. Hope this makes sense. Good luck to all you positive thinkers out there..... :-) Sometimes I am faced with rather laborious tasks in the office.

A negative thinker born into a rich family maybe be seen as 'luckier' than a positive thinker born into poverty, but that negative person will be less lucky than they have the potential to be if they were more positive. @ Dan – I think the point here is, whatever your circumstances, you are more likely to be lucky if you think positively than negatively.

I find myself reading articles that I'm not necessarily interested in the subject of, simply because i genuinely enjoy reading them. Keep up the good work :) Speaking as an someone with a reputation for being endlessly positive (apparently ‘optimistic’ is my middle name and i have no emotions other than happy), i really like this post and hope for my own sake that it’s true :P

I find I tend to dwell a bit too much on the 1/2 empty glass. Reading this helps me to see more of my life as 1/2 full and the difference when I do that is incredible.The great opportunites that come my way the wonderful experiences are exciting to look forward to. Bad things happen to good people, but it can lead to wonderful results if they have faith that good things will happen and there are positive experiences ahead. Expect the best and it will appear.

I have been a positive person all my life, and have been constantly told so! (Fortunately by some Pessimists :P) Today I missed my bus for work and I was already late. Instead I kept calm & positive :) and caught the next possible bus within 2 minutes and arrived just ON TIME at work. During the entire day I felt all this luck occur to me, just because I kept optimistic!!!!!! Being optimistic does work . . .
