Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be.

Pessimism doesn't grow your business or even maintain the status quo. The pessimists on your staff make the job harder for everyone around them. They make difficulties out of opportunities.

When an employee asks why the company does things a certain way, and you can explain the logical reason, then the employee knows what she's doing is valid.

It isn't the people you fire who make your life miserable, it's the people you don't.

When you wake up every day, you have two choices. You can either be positive or negative; an optimist or a pessimist. I choose to be an optimist. It's all a matter of perspective.

The cost of praising someone is nil - but every psychological study shows the payoff is huge.

Don't water your weeds.
