seeing the good side

i just thought about this story while travelling in the train today.it conveys a very strong notion of optimism especially if your working in an organisation

A landscape gardener ran a business that had been in the family for two or three generations. The staff were happy, and customers loved to visit the store, anything from bedding plants to ride-on mowers.

For as long as anyone could remember, the current owner and previous generations of owners were extremely positive happy people.

Most folk assumed it was because they ran a successful business.
In fact it was the other way around...

A tradition in the business was that the owner always wore a big lapel badge, saying Business Is Great!
The business was indeed generally great, although it went through tough times like any other. What never changed however was the owner's attitude, and the badge saying Business Is Great!

Everyone who saw the badge for the first time invariably asked, "What's so great about business?" Sometimes people would also comment that their own business was miserable, or even that they personally were miserable or stressed.

Anyhow, the Business Is Great! badge always tended to start a conversation, which typically involved the owner talking about lots of positive aspects of business and work, for example:

the pleasure of meeting and talking with different people every day
the reward that comes from helping staff take on new challenges and experiences
the fun and laughter in a relaxed and healthy work environment
the fascination in the work itself, and in the other people's work and businesses
the great feeling when you finish a job and do it to the best of your capabilities
the new things you learn every day - even without looking to do so

This poem Depicts the power of the mind and the determination to believe what you can be!!

Lets start with the famous quote- by Michelangelo:

"The greatest danger for us is not that our aim is too high and we will miss it, but that it is too low and we will reach it."

The Man Who Thinks He Can
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellows will;
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins is the
one who thinks he can.

Am sure this poem that i have shared with you'll will leave u thinking .I have always related my self to it and it has motivated me to a certain extent.I have seen people giving up so soon and they find 100 reason not to stand up from their failures though life is unfair to most of us you can just be stuck with that phrase ..life though unfair can give you 101 reasons that can make you rebuild your broken path.you need to some times be calm ,think positive and ignite the fire of motivation in you to rise up from that sad phase to a happier one

i just thought about some 5 way that can help you motivate yourself
1]Know your own mind !!
2]Dropping past memories \failures
3]Take time for yourself
4]Keep your mind active and open for success and rejections
5]start writing in your diary now!!!
