- The written type - letters, memos, faxes, and e - mails

According to the Canadian Students' Dictionary by Houghton Mifflin
at-ti-tude is a position of the body, or manner of carrying oneself, indicative of a mood, or condition : "Men... sprawled alone, or in heaps, in the careless attitudes of death" (John Reed).
To expand the definition of attitude to meet my own personal opinions, I would add that attitude is also a mental "set". Attitude is the way an employee views, and interprets their entire job - working environment.
Your attitude about your job may be because of the way you view, and interpret your entire job - working environment i. e. the people, the places, and the things.
Whatever your current view of your current job / workplace is currently, there are four very important reasons why you do need to keep a good(positive) attitude for your career successes!
- To keep yourself energized, and motivated - let your inner enthusiasms "spill - out"
- For first impressions - give a good(positive) attitude when you are meeting another(s) for the first time!
- To positively influence your employer for pay raises, upward promotions et cetera... and
- To positively contribute to the positive productivity of the other(s) in your workplace.
"Well sir, how do I keep my attitude positive every day? I hate my job!".
Well Rehanna, the opposite of hate is love. Please do try, try, try!
- Please do try to talk about the good(positive) things, places, and people @ your workplace, with the others at your workplace. Try to be complimentary to them, even if you do "hate" them.
- Please do try to view the good(positive) in the people(s) with whom you work with, and for.
- Please do try to view the good(positive) in your job, employer, and, or business organization.
Also, please do remember that you are getting paid good monies to do a good job.
You are not getting paid to hate your co - worker "Bob".
You are not getting paid to hate your co - worker "Bob".
Please do try, try, try!
