Positive Reflection — The Power of Positive Thinking
“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.” ― Roy T. Bennett
In our daily lives, we come across many different people. Some people have a very positive mindset that praises you for every good deed you do and gives you good steps and advice to correct your mistake. And there are some people who look only at your mistakes and are always looking for occasions to find out about your mistakes and hurt your self-esteem. Such people have nothing to do with your good deeds, they are only happy to do evil to you.
From a moral point of view, a man should be positive so that he can comfort people through his kindness. Also, a beautiful quote is that
“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.” ― Roy T. Bennett
Let me now introduce you to one aspect of my life, how I gained honors and heights in different places by being positive. I have been accustomed to working hard since my childhood because of the positive atmosphere in my home. So, I started my part-time job along with my intermedia education so that I could learn some excellent and competitive skills for my professional career. Thus, I started with the graphic design industry with my computer hobby in mind. I was in 7th class when my family bought a computer for me and I spent my time on the computer playing some games and exploring software from 7th to Matric. And I learned different software from the internet at home to the best of my ability. Then with the same initial skills, I did my first job as a graphic designer. I was absolutely fresher at the time and I was so good at design. Well, I improved my skill-set by passing the time.
The aspect I am going to talk about now is not about my skills but about my attitude towards my people. I used to treat everyone with kindness from the beginning but when someone taunts me or told me something was wrong I would get upset and start arguing with him as to why that person called me that. On the contrary, I told him that I was doing my job perfectly and there was nothing wrong with that. You are insulting me by calling my good deeds wrong.
Actually! Some people deliberately said such things to taunt me and some cogs were really correcting my mistake but this bad behavior of mine was making them hate me more.
Days passed like this until I quit my job due to taunt and found a job elsewhere. I worked there for a few days but then I had the same problem and my heart started to get bored. Then I finally got another job for a while and left it too.
But because of my skills, I soon found a job elsewhere. Now the change that came to me there was that I was the same against the taunt but my manager there explained to me that if you think positively about the things that you think are negative then you, You will not be frustrated if you will think positively and get the things at the right pitch.
My manager’s advice had such an effect on me that I kept myself positive instead of thinking about everything negative after that. This benefited me that the people who used to taunt me got tired of taunting me again and again and after a while, their attitude towards me got better.
