How hard is it to be positive?

It's not that hard if one puts one's mind to it and stays away from QL...:P

lol...nah, no influence from Arien ...just switched for a while then back to my good old Glenf...:)

@OP..TF reminding...:) Just set my specific (JD), measureable (6+ rounds), achieveable (yes I can), Realistic (NA), timebound (from 8Pm to 4AM)...goals and objectives (to be dead drunk)...:)

deadman123, gr8 words!! agree!

People who are a victim of "Self-Sympathy" can never be happy. Stop sympathizing with yourselves. Our complaining attitudes towards life are often a result of our own weaknesses. If life kicks you in the gut, then kick it back twice as hard.

People who learn to live through tough times, often end up happy in life and the ones who succumb to the circumstances,end up in misery and regrets.

here met the deadline?

What are the consequences of not meeting those deadlines?

Who is really upset when these deadlines aren't met?............. along list to go

My advice is; start thanking God now before it's too late.

are those who worked for the same company in different countries; where the only difference is the client.

I'm telling you that what we have here is a joke compared to the IMPOSSIBLE deadlines required in other countries; you might take Dubai 5 years back as the closest example.

try to click the Save button once while making comment - shows ur positive :P

TFS.

It's not hard to be positive, except on some days when it just doesn't work, no matter how hard you try. That's when 'going with the flow' helps. Just pretend you're a log flowing in the stream, let the water take you where it will.

'Coz what you resist, persists. So if you resist negativity it will come back more forcefully. Just make sure the stream doesn't take you to the ocean of darkness :P It is a struggle nevertheless.

@hislam where do u come from, the LA LA LAND???

Significantly less work ROFL..

Everyone knows that here in Qatar work is 3 times more compared to other countries and also with impossible deadlines.

I think urs is a Good company and u are happy with the management, no wait u are the management.

LLR that reminds me about my driving lessons all those years ago. My driving instructor used to tell me treat a car like a women, Gentle. because if you are rough with either of them the will get out of control.:)

A: How hard is it to be positive?

Ans: depends on how engulfed you're in negativity.

IMO, it's pretty simple; to start, get rid of greed, envy....

should be fair enough to admit the significantly less workload in Qatar regardless the salary thing

It's acually easy.

Constantly motivate yourself.

Think nothing is impossible.

Enjoy whatever you do.

And think positive always.

Yup u knw wt I do daily early morning..I go to basement and then I slap my car's back and used to tell her " Oh honey I am so sorry that I left you here all night"

My girlfriend is very social CP (: Given ride to so many cant count.

Yup tinky as you said all people are not same. (: Especially in relationship we dont have to expect something in return...

LLR... ROFL.. thats the funnies thing I've ever read !!

So, exactly how many people have you offered ride on your car?? :P

For me my car is my girl friend. ((:

O gosh, where did this sudden spurt of bitterness come from?

And yes, no 2 People are the same.. So why be similair to grumpy, negative ones? ;)

[BTW, Ask any racer and he'll tell you that the car is a person, not 'just' a machine ;) ]

In my opinion the real SMART-ness starts with negative thoughts I mean first you have to think negative (Worst Conditions) and you have to measure the risk and then should generate the energy to be face it. So my approach is always a quick negative to positive.

Some of us who are whining about our jobs, not all of us did double the work and were paid half the salary.

Some of us we studying hard in London and alhamdullilah deserve more.

So plz don't generalize.

Things doesn't work practically coz it is we who don't put it into practice... A car won't accelerate unless you put your foot on the pedal!

Yup, Coz no one will know the actual why you said that... ;)

Glad to know you're feeling better :) Hope you and all other QLers have a great day too...

All who are whinning now about their jobs, colleagues, bosses, salary, working conditions.........etc. would rather remember a couple of years back when they needed to work double the time, 10 times the effort and 100 times the problems to handle for less than quarter the current earnings; then you can decide to continue moaning or start thanking God.

oh TB you have a soft side tooo! never knew it!

Tink while downloading some songs from 70's last night came across this song which I dedicate to you..

Ain't no mountain high enough ... lol

I never wake up saying 'I will have a wonderful day ahead'. When you work and u have to deal with some arrogant and stupid characters who think they are God's gift to the human kind then its lil hard to stay happy. Anywaz I try to be cheerful when I get back home to my dearies.

Tink Where there is a will there is a way.

Hope you can find that Will hiding somewhere in the corner of the room deep inside your heart..:)

oh i am SMART .. i don't need to say it loud every day.. that be very STUPID

S-Selfish

T-Time consuming

U-Unneccesary

P-Psychopathic

I- Idiotic

D-Dumb

try this remedy... I've been doing it since the pass 10 years, and it's been proven.

Everyday when you wake up, tell your self.."It is a good day today". Before you go into your vehicle, say it again, and when you arrived at office say it again.

You can actually see, no matter how bad the day went by, it won't affect you as badly as before.

speedy ahhhhh u really think its a good idea to say it loud in the office ..... :-)

but thanx even after reading u two i feel much better n happier :-D

thanx fatimah .... :-)

thanx fatimah .... :-)

There might be negative forces around you now, but just pause for a moment, stand where you are, Think abt that negative thought and just shout out "RIDICULOUS!!!""(or if in office, say that in a high pitch voice)

Yes you have! You gotta be more positive than this,sista..SMART positive ie!

easier said than done !!!! ( have i already started my day with negetivity)

I needed it right now :(

SMART it is...will surely give it a go, In Sha Allah!
