A positive mental attitude results from a life dedicated to self-improvement and service. With a personal com­mitment to doing your best today, you don’t have to be overly concerned about tomorrow. You can be confident that good things will happen and be equally confident that if trouble comes you will have the strength and skills to cope, take control and then conquer. You are tough. You stay at it. You don’t allow your doubts to destroy your dreams. Hope does spring eternal.

You are thankful to have the curiosity to keep learn­ing. You are grateful to see opportunity knock so often. You are thankful to have the personality to keep making new friends. Your mind can only hold one thought at a time so make that one thought positive. Count your blessings. The way is clear. The world is a better place because you are in it.

In business, in all countries and throughout all of his­tory, you will find that workers are divided into three cat­egories: 10, 70, 20.

Through their own fault or no fault of their own, ten percent of workers are self-absorbed by their own non-work related problems. It is difficult for them to concen­trate on doing their jobs. Their performance is marginal at best.

Seventy percent of people are average. They work hard enough to not get fired. They are risk averse, reac­tive and let circumstance and events shape their futures. They are content to be promoted when someone in front of them is fired, quits or dies. They spend what they make and have little if anything saved for investment.

Then, there is the top twenty percent of pro-active achievers. These are self-reliant people capable of deci­sive action. They are ambitious. They research, study, plan and act. They dare and attempt and sometimes fail and learn and try again. They are moving forward. They are in control. They are the corporate leaders and successful entrepreneurs.
