Watch your language
I like this entry over at DKBU about encouraging words.
The message basically is that the world you see depends on the type of words you chose (reminds me a bit of my earlier entry about "Don't Do That).
And words you use reflects the thoughts you carry and how you experience the world!
One of my favourite sentences, mentioned by a friend the other day, is:
If you don't like the rats to follow you, you should stop behaving like a cheese.
In other words: If you have negative thoughts, negative things will follow. If you look at things positively positive things will follow.
Or: Do you see what you face currently as a problem or as an opportunity?

Yes, I absolutely agree. It's a matter of perspective and mindset. Pessimistic view will turn a possible advantage into disadvantage. Someone who always say "no" before trying, will end up never succeeding. On the contrary, an optimistic view will even perceive a tough challenge as a way to improve and move on to the next peak.

Hey, that's a good one to remember - about the rats and the cheese. Good piece of advice!
