What do we mean by 'positive attitude'?
I was reading my Instructor’s training manual, written by
Master Farhad Dordar and given to me as a tool for improving my
leadership qualities, when I got inspired to blog about a paragraph I
came across. Check this out:
“Instructors must understand that the martial arts are not just about
how to kick higher or punch harder, but also about improving our
general outlook, our social skills and our concentration.
In improving our character traits and focusing on the positive, we
build confidence and create the right state of mind to encourage further
growth and development in ourselves and the students we work with.
Having a positive attitude allows us to solve problems and helps students to see that the goals we set are attainable."
Having a positive attitude is either something you’re gifted with, or
something which you can teach yourself once you realize that you don’t
want to lose any more of your life to any of its problems we
face with antagonist emotions and crippling frustration. Having a
positive attitude is all about learning how to first recognize that your
heads in the ground and pulling it out, then once everything around you
is more vivid and you’re in control, then looking at your problem with
new eyes and telling yourself what I told my mother so many years ago:
“This has happened to us, and now the only way we can get home is to
calm down and deal with it.” You may as well throw in some other
maintenance techniques while you’re upstairs,before you return to your
body to actually deal with the problem. These are some good ones, using
examples from a list which Master Farhad has put in my martial arts
instructor’s book:

About the Author: Farhad Dordar RSS for Farhad's articles - Visit Farhad's website As in most sports, I believe that there is a championship in life. Considering how frequently we encounter obstacles that require courage, self-discipline, self-confidence, knowledge and will-power, it is a process of victories and defeats. We all want victories in our lives, so we should learn to face the obstacles that lay before us without hesitation. We must own our obstacles, lest they own us. By starting my first martial arts school at the age of 21, I was able to found the basis for my future as a mentor of all the values found in martial arts. I have been working for 39 years since, involved in many different sports, studying many new styles of martial arts, and participating in many international courses and educational programs. By constantly studying and researching valuable areas such as general management, business management, psychology, physiology, human anatomy, communications, biomechanics, and the elements of mind, body and spirit (holistic fitness), I have been able to create a step-by-step self-improvement program based on my knowledge. This program conveys a life of dedicated research by conveniently depicting how my students and followers can improve their lifestyles through martial arts training. Students will learn how to recognize important benefits and values such as confidence, discipline, self-control, patience, leadership and goal-setting. How these values can come from martial arts training and become implemented into a human lifestyle at any age group for both males and females is one of our major elements.

Re: What can You Learn from a Jobless and Homeless Woman?
- Alan,
I definitely agree that a person needs all of those things. I think for me, it was the positive attitude that was the most important. If I woke up with a "defeated" attitude, I knew I had to do something to snap me out of it quickly. Either read a few chapters from a Zig Ziglar book or the Bible. I'm sure everyone has their own little routine.

Hi Mary,
That's a great routine. I think for me, I know what I want so much so that I'm not going to let anyone get me down. I try to stay positive in every situation, business related or not. It helps with life in general. Nothing good can ever come from being negative all the time. I've seen what it can do, and it's ugly.
Also, I think a positive outlook provides opportunities that otherwise would go unnoticed if a person is negative about a situation. You'd be surprised how more open-minded one can be and be provided with "light bulb" ideas in the worst of times. I've been there.
Re: Winners vs. Losers

Winners have a passion for success
Winners have positive mental attitude
Winners are committed
Winners see problems as opportunities
Winners love the challenge (of difficulties)
Losers
Easy to recognize - I try to avoid them; attitude, commitment, body language, participation, procrastination, fear, ....
Re: What makes a good sales rep?
- Hello, Topeyinka:
Thanks for starting this thread. It will be informative and inspiring!
I think one mark of a good sales representative is perspective with a positive attitude.
I number of years ago, I heard a similar story about those same two salesmen you just mentioned. This story focuses on the power of perspective with a positive attitude.
The first shoe salesman said, "There is no market here. Nobody wears shoes."
The second shoe salesman said, "The market is [u:28onyj2m]unlimited[/u:28onyj2m] here! Nobody wears shoes!"
