Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude by Jeffrey Gitomer

How can I be more positive at work?
Put a "quote of the day" on everyone's desk
Use positive language
Be wiling to do for others without measuring
Be willing to help others without measuring
Be an example for others to follow
Ask one more question before you answer
Don't join the bashing
Don't join the pity party
Don't join the revolt
Solve, rather than complain
Get the third party being talked about negatively into the conversation
Quite whining

How can I be more positive at home?
Praise others
Don't belittle
If "familiarity breeds contempt" lives at your house, kill it
You know the buttons. Don't push them.

How can I be more positive with my spouse?
Be a partner, not a spouse
Surprise her - surprise him
Compliment at all times
Stay humorous, but never make fun of
Stay affectionate
Be interested in each other and each other's interests

How can I be more positive with my children?
Never yell at them
Instead, ask what they did
Then ask if this was the BEST they could have done
Ask them what could have been done differently
Ask them if they think they can do that the next time
Encourage them to do right after they've done wrong
Get them to love school at an early age
Fight to get them good teachers
Do homework WITH them
Never put them down
Speak to them with a YES! Attitude
