John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good
mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would
ask him how he was doing, he would reply, If I were any better, I
would be twins!
He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the
employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and
asked him, I dont get it! You cant be a positive person all of
the time. How do you do it?
He replied, Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two
choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or . . . you can
choose to be in a bad mood, I choose to be in a good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or . .
. I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept
their complaining or . . . I can point out the positive side of
life. I choose the positive side of life. {...}
