There is so much negative floating around out there. It is sometimes difficult to rise to the more positive outlooks that could possibly lie ahead. I must admit, when the world around you is abuzz with complaints and venting, it is difficult to move ahead without that energy affecting your own judgment. I am for action and preparation. I am going to read the book and look for the gems of wisdom to carry on … without complaining!

If you focus on the best virtues of people, you simply get more of that AND it keeps you from complaining and focusing about the negative aspects of life.

The old adage that if you let the team vent and get out their disapointments about each other, you can move forward as a organization and start clean, NO! NO! NO! Brain based research shows that venting / complaining does nothing to improve effectiveness of team and the individuals on the teams. What does work (Go-Giver) is praise, attributes you admire about others and yourself. Things you admire about your self and others. This starts and feels slightly contrived at first, with practice it becomes habit. With this habit attitudes and cultural environments improve. Like Attracts Like.
