39. Hire "Cheerful"—Or: That Damned AV Guy! I was in a foul mood before a speech—a
disastrous state of affairs. At the AV check, the guy in charge was in great humor. Despite
myself, I was infected. Attitude is contagious. A happy camper creates a happy camp. And
someone in a foul mood can befoul an entire battalion in a flash.
Again, in hiring, promoting, evaluating—pay close attention to these "soft" factors which in actual fact are the ultimate "HARD" factors!
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ~Herm Albright, quoted in Reader's Digest, June 1995
Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching? ~Dennis and Wendy Mannering
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. ~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book
If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want. ~Oscar Wilde
Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats. ~Voltaire
If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one. ~Cavett Robert
It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to. ~Annie Gottlier
