"1. Manage rejection. It is easy to get discouraged when unwelcomed events occur.
The trick is to put them in perspective: Most will pass and become unimportant
with time. It's easy to feel like a single failure or rejection is the end of
the world, but it never is. In fact, setbacks often give you an opportunity to
turn a rebuff into a win. (…)
2. Rid yourself of resentment. Ongoing resentment erodes your attitude and spirit, and
gives the false impression that you have no control over your life. But you
made the choices that put you where you are, and you'll do no good by blaming
your circumstances on others. Accept responsibility. Accept that you are the
master of your ship--and take command. To keep a positive attitude, embrace the
concept that there are no justified resentments in life.
3. Associate with positive people. Negative people pull others down. If you want to stay
positive, stay away from them. Spend as little time with them as possible.
Positive people, on the other hand, are almost always winners, and their
success rubs off on those who associate with them.
4. Compliment at least one person every day. When you compliment people, it makes them feel good. Even
better, it makes you feel good. You did something nice for them and lifted
their spirit. One word of caution: Only make sincere compliments. If you fake
it, people will be able to tell, and they'll look on you with suspicion.
5. Be enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is contagious and draws others to you like a
magnet. You might not always feel enthusiastic, but fortunately there's
something you can do: Force it! As Dale Carnegie taught, "When you act
enthusiastic, you will be enthusiastic."
