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. 积极地态度
持有积极的生活、工作态度也很必要，并且这和我们已经讨论过的内容密切相关。当你的同事在嘲笑你的长篇大论和清高时，你的老板看到的是你讨厌自己的工作，不愿意支持公司的业务目标。我们要区分好偶尔的坏日子（尽管你应该一直尽量减少这样的时候，并且无论在多么艰难的环境中保持向上的态度）和一贯的悲观主义。无休止的悲观将会把别人向下拖拽，并且很有可能让人一无所成。如果你可以树立积极地态度，你可以激励别人变得积极；再者，你自己也可以达成更大的成就，也有可能拥有经营管理的潜力而被别人更加信赖。积极地态度完全由自己掌控，并且可以通过强调任何环境中的所有积极因素来获得。别去看问题——看解决方法。
