Actually I stay positive allmost all of the time, and help others stay positive as well. I am a youth counsellor as well I am going to be a police officer. You could be positive all the time if you wanted. Defeatist attitudes are for losers. Always turn negative into positive, and you will come out on top. I used to go to work saying "I hate my job", "this is going to be a long day" and guess what going in with a negative attitude just put me in a bad mood to begin with, and also brings down fellow employees, and it also made the day extremely long. Rather going in positive makes the day go by much quicker and keeps everyone in good spirits. Good day.
