    We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold towards them.

A good begining tone sets the tone for the rest of the day.As if we start the first few minutes of ourday with sweetness and good humor,the rest of the day goes better.

Even when,occassionally,we awaken feeling bombarded with problems,we make it a point to start serenely and wait until later to talk about negative stuff.

Apply same principle with friends,family,colleague,business associate.with each person you meet ,or talk with on phone,start out with:

  • A smile(you just notice you can feel smile on phone too)
  • Showing you are glad to talk with them
  • Good Humor,
  • Careful listening
  • A positive attitude(save the negatives to discuss later on,if neccessary)
  • Lively,pertinent conversation.

try this little experiment .Next time you see someone you care about,notice how that person respond.Notice what happens to your quality time together.

Make this first few minutes a habit,it works.

Absolutely agree with you on the attitude deciding the day, mood and even the relationships, Beena. We often so get caught up in our routines that we don't even stop to consider the simplicity of 'looking inward' for all answers. It is very true that most of the people treat you the way you treat them and more importantly the way you show them how you want to be treated. Positive attitude, confidence in self and a calm demenor are essentials for a great mind.

quite learning... good one Beena.. I was in my article ECHO....If you behave good, will get good response... but do not tolerate others behaviour which is crossing the limit of self respect.
Its a two way mechanism.

Thanks for the referral. I try to do the above but as you know it sometimes can't work. However, I always try to be homorous and friendly despite my moods.
