Being positive can only benefit ouselves not anyone else. Nobody can live your life for you nor experience success or failure for you. Hence having a positive attitude determines a good or not so good day. There was once a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and noticed she only had 3 hairs on her head.
She thought for a while and decided to braid her hair and she went ahead and did. She had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up with 2 hairs on her head. She thought for a while and decided "i'll part my hair down the middle today". And so she did that and had another fantastic day.
The day after that, she woke up with only 1 hair on her head. She looked in the mirror and decided to keep a pony tail. She did that and had another day infused with fun and laughter.
The next day she woke up she saw the mirror and realized there wasn't a single hair on her head.
"Yeah" she exclaimed. "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

The trick is not in the situations but the attitude taken. We can always lament and groan about things when situations arise or we can employ a better attitude and inject cheer into our lives instead of drowning in melancholy. Never ever let your optimism die. You can be bald and see the situation becoming worse everyday or be like this lady who sees it differently.
Be inspired and inspire.
