Positive, optimistic sales people sell more than pessimistic sales people.

When we take time to notice the things that go right - it means we're getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day.

Optimism generates hope...hope releases dreams...dreams set goals...enthusiasm follows

Well-being cannot exist just in your own head. Well-being is a combination of feeling good as well as actually having meaning, good relationships and accomplishment.

People who believe they cause good things tend to like themselves better than people who believe good things come from other people or circumstances.

In a society in which individualism is becoming rampant, people more and more believe that they are the center of the world. Such a belief system makes individual failure almost inconsolable.

The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe that bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe that defeat is just a temporary setback or a challenge, that its causes are just confined to this one case.
