4- A positive attitude
Connected to everything else we have discussed, being positive about work and life is also essential. While your colleagues may laugh at your endless cynicism and misanthropic tendencies, your boss will see you as someone who hates their job and who will never support the aims of the company. We should distinguish between the occasional bad day (although you should always try to minimize this and remain upbeat no matter how trying the circumstances) and being consistently pessimistic. The eternal pessimist will always try to drag other people down and will probably be less productive. If you can cultivate a positive outlook, you will encourage others to be more positive; also, you will be more productive and possibly more credible as someone with executive potential. A positive attitude is entirely self-determined and can be helped by accentuating the positives in any situation. Don’t see problems — see solutions.
4. 積極地態度
持有積極的生活、工作態度也很必要，并且這和我們已經討論過的內容密切相關。當你的同事在嘲笑你的長篇大論和清高時，你的老板看到的是你討厭自己的工作，不愿意支持公司的業務目標。我們要區分好偶爾的壞日子（盡管你應該一直盡量減少這樣的時候，并且無論在多么艱難的環境中保持向上的態度）和一貫的悲觀主義。無休止的悲觀將會把別人向下拖拽，并且很有可能讓人一無所成。如果你可以樹立積極地態度，你可以激勵別人變得積極；再者，你自己也可以達成更大的成就，也有可能擁有經營管理的潛力而被別人更加信賴。積極地態度完全由自己掌控，并且可以通過強調任何環境中的所有積極因素來獲得。別去看問題——看解決方法。
