Some thoughts.

Well, I've covered rather ikky topics, boring people with my view. Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong, but that's how I saw it.

Today, is more on a positive note, drifting a little away from the Dance theme I had. I'd like to talk about positive attitude and how I've seen and felt first hand about how it can influence people.

I've recently got employed by a multi-national corporation. The company has a rather supportive and positive attitude that I haven't seen, almost ever. I have seen individual like this, but here, seemingly the whole office has it.

As an example. The other day, I did what I'm normally payed to do, in the time frame I was meant to do it in. Yes, it was a big job, but it wasn't that far beyond what my job description covers. Yet, at today's group meeting, I was told in front of the group what a good job I have done.

After that incident, I thought about it for a little bit. My previous company, was not the best, but had some form of "gloomyness" going on. I clearly recall talking to a former co-worker who has left, that "I don't understand why everyone is negative and bitching".

Here's where my thought it, at the moment. It's about what makes life easy. As human, I think we, you, I, can and will see the positive and the negative. Yes, as individuals, we have the tendancy to be positive or negative, but I think to the most degree, we are neutral. We complain about the pay, our boss, work, etc. We see the good, the bad of all situation. But if you are in a negative environemnt, it's "ok" to be complaining. But if you are in a positive environment, it becomes "ok" to praise, look at the good side. As a matter of fact, after the incident in the morning, I felt that I "could not say ill" of anyone.

In another way of saying/seeing it, I felt as though I was getting the peer pressure of "being positive". It was shunned to be negative, and encouraged to be positive. The attitude isn't about "how can we complain", but "how can we improve/fix this".

Why is this important? I think this kind of envirnment isn't or should be unique. Think of friends, family, any group of people. I'd like to believe that you CAN start this will a small ripple effect, from you. But I just wanted to emphasise more of an anectdotal story of what a "positive environment" might do to an individual.

Till next time.
