Relation Between Positive Attitude and Your Dreams

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. 

The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.He came closer still and called out 'Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?'The young man paused, looked up, and replied 'Throwing starfish into the ocean.''I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?' asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, 'The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die.'Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!'At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, 'It made a difference for that one.

So, can I encourage you to take the time to do something that will make difference to someone else's life ... and it doesn't have to be much and they don't need to know. Just take a moment, do something special ... the universe will know and that's enough.

If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.Don't you think so?

LEARNING FROM MISTAKES

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”

Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

EVERYONE DO COMMIT A MISTAKE...BUT LEARNING FROM MISTAKE LEADS TO SUCCESS..SO WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNT FROM YOUR MISTAKES???

Team building exercises can help relieve stress

Work related stress is a common complaint. The latest figures from the labor force survey (lfs) show that the total number of cases of stress in 2011/12 was 428, 000 (40%) out of a total of 1, 073, 000 for all work-related illnesses. Team building exercises can help combat some of the reasons and symptoms of stress in the workplace.

While a little stress can push people to achieve – too much stress can have damaging and far reaching effects not only on the individual suffering but for the company and other team members.For instance, here are some examples of the impact on a business from work related stress:

• Days off work may be taken.
• The company image can suffer.
• Staff retention and recruitment may be affected.
• Customer satisfaction can be damaged.
• Productivity and performance can suffer – errors may occur.
• Conflict between staff members.

What’s more, there are legal obligations for employers, to minimize the risk of stress-related illness or injury to employees, under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Whilst a team building exercise is seen simply as a fun day out of the office by some employees, there are important lessons that can be learned on an away-day hosted by a professional events company, which can help reduce stress.

The benefits of a team building day for a staff member can be:

• Improving problem solving skills.
• Improving communication techniques.
• Developing leadership and managerial skills.
• Identifying strengths and weaknesses.
• Breaking down barriers with colleagues.
