About Us
May 1, 2009 from Industrial Distribution – “Robert H. Schuller wrote a book titled “Tough Times Never Last, but Tough People Do.” Rarely has the title of a book so inspired me.
In tough times, one of the first things to go is your attitude. According to a recent Gallup survey, nearly two-thirds of American workers admit to struggling with stress due to the economy. The American Psychiatric Assn. found that half of all Americans worry about providing for their loved ones in this economy…”
180 View (written by Lawrence Young) – In this article, Tom Reilly talks about four actions that can be taken to not only ‘weather the storm’ during these difficult times, but to even prosper from opportunities that exist in this struggling economy.
Tom talks a lot about the impact a positive attitude can have on even the most challenging reality. We’ve been taught that with the right attitude we can ‘make lemonade out of all lemons’. And we’ve all heard that ‘when the going gets tough, the tough get going’.
But how do we overcome our fears? Fear of failure? Fear of change? Fear of hurting people’s feelings? After all, as the article points out, ‘tough times demand a great deal from us’.
Our experience tells us that there really is no substitute for positive thinking when the chips are down. And positive thinking starts with the person you are, or perhaps want to be. So, what kind of person are you? Remember, there are only three types of people in this world:
- Those who make things happen
- Those who watch things happen
- Those who say “what happened?”
