Dear Sir,
This is another nice issue of the Posititude which encourages the positive thinking
and get rid of the negative thoughts. Leaving the past behind is a very too good, if
one wants to remember and recall its past it is advisable to take positive out of it
and lessons from the negative part.
Good Going
All the best.

Building a Positive Work Environment

You all would agree that we devote 12 hours (including commuting) of total 24
hours at our work place, almost 50%. And if we calculate assuming wakeup time
(24-8 (sleeping))=16 hours, so out of 16 hours of wake time, we spend 12 hours
doing our business or attending our duty, which comes to 75%. Therefore 75% of
our time passes at our work place. Therefore it become essential to have a
positive and soothing environment at our work place. It effects our 75% of the
life. Therefore what-ever we do at work place is going to effect our life . If we are
satisfy and contented at work, we return home relaxed and cool. On the other
hand if our work environment gives us tension and dis-satisfaction, we will be
disturbed and distressed. Same tension and worries we are going to carry at
home. So the environment at our work place is going to decide quality of our life.

The confidence of the child that her father will

catch her safely when she lands in his hand, is the
real definition of Trust and the assurance given by
the father to her is the Trust building.
Trust is a major part of successful interpersonal
relationships. Main pillars of Trust building are as
under a)

b)
c)
d)
e)
f)

Do what you say People will first look at you and hear your words. They
will observe you minutely. Therefore be an example and do what you say.
Slowly they will rely on your words and start believing you.
If you do Promise, do Honor them. Trust will build if you honor your
promises.
Never belittle you promises.
Honestly is the best policy .
Never tell a lie. Truth may be bitter, but always beneficial. Always say
truth. This makes you more trust worthy than others.
Be open. Never hide your views. Always share them with your peers and
colleague.
posititude Feb 15

g)
h)

If someone share his grievance and secrets, keep them with you. Always
keep confidences.
Integrity and Loyalty is the virtue, which build trust of others in you.

Building trust you create a positive environment at Home and Office.

Do positive Communication
Positively spoken words change the scene. Positivity comes along with
- Happiness,
- Peace
- A new energy
- Openness
- Synergy among all
- Enthusiasm
- Creativity
Therefore to change the working environment congenial and positive, always be
Open and talk positively. Talk of present and take support of all past successful
moments. This will create a positive environment around you.

Expect Best from others

When ever you communicate with others, always talk with energy and
enthusiasm, always create and show your Trust in your team and always say
YES you can do it, you have done earlier also. This energy and confidence
will be a tonic for your team and every task will be done with success.

Expect the best, Best is waiting for you.

posititude Feb 15

Building Team Spirit

A single man approach can do well for a single
Person and not for the team and organization. Every
Individual Is unique and important. In an
organization individual doesn't do all the functions.
It is the team which performs and run the organization.
Therefore to create a team and induce a team spirit,
every individual should be delegated work of his
interest and expertise. If an individual gets his choice
of work he will perform the best. Therefore to create a
team spirit, always identify the skills and motivate all
and show them your confidence and trust in their
capabilities. Always talk positive of a person and
explain them the importance of every individual in the team.

Appreciation and recognition

Even for small successes recognize and appreciate
your family members and team members. You may
have seen Whales doing aerobics in pool and for
every jump and dip the trainer appreciate and
rewards the whale with a small fish to feed. Due to
this award the whale do the next task with more
enthusiasm and zeal. As per behavioral experts,
human and whale behave in a similar pattern.
If by small recognition an animals can do wonders, why humans cant. Always
show gratitude to your team members and always appreciate publically and
recognize them. Publically appreciation motivates others to follow and it
creates a very alleviating and positive environment. Some companies identify
and display employees of the week and employee of the month on the notice
board. This is how ambient environment is created, which promotes team
work and team spirit.

Be always approachable to your team

Be aware and keep in mind, what do you do when you are in fix and unable to
crack down a problem. As far as I am concerned, in problematic situation, I
always approach my peers and then to my seniors. If they are approachable, I
feel very happy and able to do my task without wasting much of time. By this I
save my time and able to devote time in helping other to do their tasks.
Similarly your team may needs you and if you avoid them or dont give them
time and help when they needed, you are for sure
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)

Demotivating them to come to you,

Discouraging them to take initiative,
Waste time to visit you again,
Delay the tasks,
Inculcating a negative feeling in them,
Becoming a reason for failure of the project.
Creating time for gossips.

Therefore if you want success, positive environment, energy and enthusiasm in

your team, be always present in their time of need. They should always feel your
presence. Solution will automatically come.

Have a sense of Humor to lighten the Environment

Self Motivating Tools

In Continuation of Jan 15 issue

6.

Success moments are Tools When we get success in life, we are full of energy and enthusiasm. But along
with it comes proudness in us , which is very dangerous and it takes away
humbleness and patience within us. Impatience, proudness. Instead of
giving credit to yourself along, think of the factors which supported you to
get that success. Always remember what you have done to get success and
feel the happiness and strive to get more in your life. Remember your
successes to inculcate a confidence in you that You can Do It.

7.

Yes It is Possible
Some times we want to do a task, but we are taken aback by our No, it is
not possible. Without even going into depth, we say I cant do . This
feeling kills our enthusiasm. This push us back, our heart and mind will
never motivate us to think broader and take initiative.
The word Impossible, itself says I m possible. Therefore always have
confidence in yourself and always say to yourself that I Can do it, I can
Create a better life for me. Start your day with Yes I can and it is possible to
do. This will serve as the springboard of belief you need to succeed.

8.

Target big
Your thoughts control your desires and inspire
you from inside to take action. It helps you to
achieve your lifes goal whether small or big.
In life you should always think and dream big.
This thought of bigness infuse lots of energy in
you to achieve that. You get excited to achieve
that big goal. Excitements pave to enthusiasm.
I always feel that if we do our work with enthusiasm we will always achieve
what we think. Enthusiasm is soul power which make every dream happen.
Therefore always think from soul and always believe that God is with you.
This makes your soul inclined towards the super power and gets power for
determination and can achieve factor in you. Start your day with your
dream in mind. You will definitely make it come true and live.

9.

Acceptance is Way to Change

If we look at our daily activities, we will
find that we do what is acceptable to our soul or
mind. Some times we think with our brain, but
some times we think with our heart. But we do
what is acceptable first to us, then only we are
inspired to do that act / task. Without our
acceptance we normally dont do, but if we do any
task under someones pressure, we cant give our
100% and we normally dont perform well. If we
think and accept that we are wrong and we have to change our way
of taking things, then only we will change our way, otherwise no one
can motivate us to change. Therefore change factor is within us only.
Search inside, accept the truth and make a change plan and execute
that immediately. You will find a new you inside, excited to change
and see the change happen.

Therefore evaluate your days results, introspect the failures, accept

them, learn from them and the change process starts. No regrets, just
change, result will be wondrous.
10. Both Fails One who thinks but dont Act and who acts but dont
Thinks. Dreaming is not enough. Dreaming with closed eyes will give
enjoyment and success only till eyes are closed. Once eyes are open,
dream will vanish and only regrets will surround. But if we dream
with our open eyes, there are chances we choose the feasible dreams
and acts. Dreaming is only what we desire. We may desire Moon,
but can we achieve that. No. Therefore think What you want?
Where you want?, When you want?, Why you want?, Who will help
you? And How to get that? After thinking these 5W1H, you will be
able to act with a clear vision. If you Act without thinking and
answering these questions, you are acting without Goal and
direction. Failure is for sure. For Success think 5W1H.

11. A Good Closure of day, build the foundation of a Successful next day At the end of the day, one should update the to-do list. What all tasks has
been done and what are still pending. Delete those tasks which are done
and add which are to be done next day. This gives a clear cut direction for
the next day. This also teaches us from days fallacies and shortcoming.
Only 30 minutes at the end of the day will give a sound sleep and a fresh
start of the next Day equipped with tremendous energy with goal and
Direction.

In last month we have discussed about body gestures. We learned how our
body gestures communicate with other people. Also learnt what other peoples
body gestures speaks.
In this issue we would elaborate on Hands shakes. Our hands are locomotors or
and manifests lot of messages to the observers and audiences. You may have
seen Doordarshans (Indian National Telecast) news for impairs every day in the
after noon. The News caster convey his/her message by ways of hands and face
expressions. Hands gestors convey every message very clear.

Hand Shake
Our hand has two parts Palm and Fingers. Palm shows
our inner feeling and Fingers convey our inner feeling
we have for the person with whom we shake hand.
Hand Shake is basically exchanging feelings and energy
between two persons. Therefore before shaking hand with others try to have a
good feeling for others so that others reciprocate the same feeling back.

fingers

Palm

Normally on three occasions we shake hands

1)
2)
3)

When we introduce ourselves to others,

When we take leave/depart from some one,
When we start / close a meeting.

Type of Hand Shakes

1)

The top hand Shake If a person shake hand horizontally on top instead of
vertically, shows his/her feeling of dominance. He/she will push the lower
hand downwards. Conversely, the person with hand on lower position
shows him/her on receiving end.
posititude Feb 15

18

Palm facing down is a hand of a person showing dominance and firmness in

decision. It also shows aggressiveness and didnt give little chance to the
receiver to establish an equal relation.
2)

The Pusher Hand shake The initiator push the other away from himself
while shaking hand. This indicate the initiator wants more space and dont
want too much closeness.

3)

The Pullers Hand Shake The initiator pull the opponent towards himself.
Be wary of these kind of persons. They are manipulators and they may push
you in a situation where you never wants to be.

The Pusher
4)

The Puller

The Two Hand Shake It is politician handshake. It is also called Gloves

Handshake. The initiator gives personal touch
and intend to establish Trust and confidence
to the receiver. But normally it is other way
round. In case of the initiator is new, the case
is suspicious, but if both are well known to
each other, then trust can be done.

posititude Feb 15

19

5) The Crushers Out of enthusiasm the initiator press the opponents hand
hard unknowingly. He / she just want to show his
energy level and enthusiasm to the opponent.

6)

The Twister The initiator shake hand vertically, but give a twist to the
hand shake and bring his hand on top. This kind persons are dominators
and un-trustable. Trust on these person may put you in an adverse
situation.

7)

Dead Fish Handshake The hand of the opponent will be just dead, no
sign of energy. For the shake of hand shake they
forward their hand without showing any interest and
energy. These kind of people are low in self esteem
and energy.
There are many other ways of
handshakes , which we are not
including in this issue.
In Nut-shell, the right way of
handshaking is to catch the
opponents hand vertically and
press slightly with full grip to
show warmness. Your eyes
should be in line with the
opponent and smile on the face.
You should maintain an optimum
distance. Neither Close nor
away.

5-S For your Healthy Body

Today Morning while driving, on 106.4 FM, I listen a Doctor advising the listeners
take care of the following 5-S to keep BP Under Control, Sugar Under Control
and to have a healthy Kidney. We read daily in news papers about deaths due
Sugar problem, BP and kidney failures. Mainly disturbed sugar and Salt level in
our body adversely effect our heart, Kidney and other parts of the body.
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

Sugar Take Sugar in adequate quantity

Salt
Stress
Sedentary life style
Smoke

Intake of excess sugar is always harmful to the body. In digestive

tract sugar is broken down in Glucose and Fructose. Glucose is
found in the body of all living beings and our body is capable of
producing it. Our body is capable of generating Glucose from the food which we
intake. Basically Fructose is not needed by our body for physiological need.
Fructose is stored in our liver until it is not required. Excess of fructose is stored
into the liver and make it fatter and also generate LDL, which is a major cause of
High blood pressure and heart diseases. This excess storage creates all the
problems related to mal functioning of our liver. It also contributes to obesity in
the body. Insulin is an enzyme secreted by our pancreas, which allows sugar to
enter into our cells and burn sugar into fat. But when we intake more sugar,
insulin is more required and secretion may not be adequate therefore cells stop
burning sugar and results in more sugar level into the blood stream. Excess of
sugar in our blood stream causes diabetic disease. Sugar Intake should be
adequately taken. Due to excess sugar intake our liver and pancreas become
weak. As per researchers, excess intake of sugar may create Cancer in the body.
Another very dangerous material we take, is Salt. We consume Salt in the form
of Sodium Chloride, which is also called Common Salt. It is made up of Sodium
and Chloride. Main source of Sodium is our food we take every day. Its main
function is to regulate the fluid level in the body.
posititude Feb 15

24

Adequate amount of intake of the salt is good and necessary to maintain the
correct volume of circulating blood and tissue fluids in the body. But many
people intake excess amount of it in the form of Junk food and excess salts
food. For a normal healthy person only 1-1/2 Tea spoon of salt is adequate for a
day. Salt intake above 1 teaspoons is associated with high blood pressure,
which is a risk factor for kidney disease and cardiovascular disease (such as
heart disease and stroke). Kidney is the main regulator of Sodium in our body.

Excessive sodium intake has also been linked to other conditions, such as :
a) Heart failure
b) Kidney problems and kidney stones
c) Oedema (Swelling due to fluid retention)
d) Stroke
e) Stomach cancer
d) Left ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of heart muscle)
e) Osteoporosis Risk of fracture of Bone. (A high level of salt intake increases
the amount of calcium excreted in the urine, which may also contribute to
osteoporosis and increased risk of fracture).
Stress is the bigger danger to human health in this modern age. We have
discussed about stress in many of our issues. Also have discussed how to destress yourself. Please refer the issue. Here we will concisely describe the main
points to lessen the stress

A recent study reported that for every 2 hours that a person watched TV,
the risk of type 2 diabetes increased 14%.
People who are sedentary have the highest rate of heart attack.
Sedentary life style people are more prone to Brain Stroke. Those who do
regular exercises reduce stroke by 50%.

So leave your chair and bed and start moving your body and get ride of
depressions, high BP, sugar problems, kidney problems, obesity and live a
healthy life style.
The last S, is smoking. Smoking is to kill your self. You dont need any enemy.
You are your own enemy. Every government is making lot of efforts to
discourage smoking. It is bad for the health of the smoker, environment and

Have confidence in your decisions

A fish seller put a hording on his Shop Fresh Fishes are Sold
Here. He was happy that now he will pull more customers and he will sell
more. On the same road, on which this shop was, there was a college
which conduct courses on Marketing Management. In Marketing
education it is taught to write minimum with more impact on the customer.
One day a student was passing in front of the shop. He saw the
hoarding and stopped and asked the shop keeper what is the meaning
of Fresh fishes are sold here? If fresh fishes are not available here then
where else fresh fishes will be available. Word here is of no relevance
in the hoarding, therefore it is better to remove it. The shop keeper
have no choice to accept the advice of the student and he painted the
word here with white paint. Now the hoarding is having Fresh Fishes are
Sold. Next day another student visited and reviewed and suggested to
remove the Fresh word from the hoarding, since he sell Fresh fishes only.
Shop keeper painted Fresh with white paint. Now the hoarding is Fishes
are Sold.

Story doesnt stop here. After some time one more intelligent student reaches
the site and asked the shop keeper what does it means are Sold. Remove the
word are Sold. The shop keep was thinking that the marketing students are
more intelligent and are learning the latest marketing techniques, therefore
he painted the words are Sold also white. Now the hoarding is having only one
word Fishes. This doesnt stop here. One person noticed the board and show
Fishes written on the hoarding. He told the shop keeper, your fishes smell
from one kilo meter then why you want to writes fishes on the hoarding. It is
better to remove that also. Customer will come by the smell itself. The poor
shopkeeper painted the whole board in white paint. Now the hoarding is plain
white.
Just then a marketing student was passing in
front of the shop and told the shop keeping
smiling that without marketing you cant sell
your products. Every product sells more with
branding. Therefore you should write on the
blank hoarding Fresh Fishes are Sold Here.
You should write this, it container every information about your business.

Moral of the story is Never hear others. Decide with full thought
and do your task. No one can be best just of what you want to do.

Dont keep pains for longer time.

We have heard a story of Half Glass full of water, gives learning of seeing things
positive. Recently I have attended a motivation training program in Delhi. The
trainer came with a Half glass of water and saw to the participants. Every one
guessed that he is going to ask us what do we say? And we all will say it is Half
glass of Water. But no, the motivator asks us, how much it weighs? Some of
us told 100 gms, some told 150 gm and some of us told 200 gm. He continue to
orate and told us, weight doesnt matter much, but it matters for how much time

Tips to keep your relationship in Place

It is human nature that he/she spend more of his/her time at a place where
he/she find happiness and peace and always avoid or defer visiting places where
he is not given due weightage, respect, recognition. It is rational to be like that.
Human being is an intellectual and social animal. He/she cant live in isolation.
He/she needs a suitable company with whom he/she can enjoy time and a
conciliatory environment for sharing his/her views.
I have seen many people coming to office before time and they keep on
spending late hours at office even though they may not be having any work to
do. They are the last person to leave the office. In the morning their face
scintillates, whereas in the evening they are woebegone.
It all starts from the home Vastu. The environment at home
effects the total life of a person. We all are borne with
variant qualities and virtues. It is very difficult for all of us
to maintain a loving relationship within our family. Over
a period of time stagnation comes in the relationship. Vastu
can help you in rejuvenation of relations between the family
members. Here are few practical Vastu tips which you follow
to maintain a congenial environment at home.
1)

I have seen at many houses things are kept in a clutter manner. Every time
there a search for things in home. Husband will ask the wife and wife will
help in search to some time our of despair may say find out your self.
Here starts the disparity between the relations. Expectations are nor
fulfilled. Therefore foremost thing is to De-cluttering at house.

2)

Remove / dispose all the non usable things from the house. This will clear
the way for positive energy to enter into the house.

3)

The master bedroom for the owner of the house should be in South-West
direction of the house to enhance the healthy and supportive relationship
between the couple.

4)

Couple should always sleep in the master bed room and their head
should always be in south direction for a blissful relationship. (already
discussed in earlier posititudes).

5)

The bedroom should have adequate light , preferably natural light. The
colour concept of the bedroom should be lighter and brighter. Avoid
dark colors in the bedroom.

6)

The bedroom should be a perfect square / rectangle shape. It should be

neither extended nor should be curtailed the size.

7)

Always have a single mattress in the bedroom.

8)

Avoid having mirrors in the bedroom. This create a negative impact on

the relationship.

9)

Pictures of Gods and Goddess should never be placed in bedroom.

Worship place should be separate from the bedroom.

10) Water and fire in kitchen should be kept at a distance, i.e., Sink and Gas
Stove should installed in different corners of the kitchen. Sink should be
in North or North-east corner and Gas Stove should be in South corner
of the Kitchen.
11) Place fresh and natural flowers in the house instead of artificial.

12) Place rose quartz near you and preferable to be placed in south corner
of the room.
If you take care of the above, your relationship may turn into a happy and
jovial relationship.

Be happy and spread the Happiness

We Danced Through Life

We danced amongst the stars that night
when joy had fallen far from sight
We danced under the sun so bright
And when all seemed lost, we held on tight
We danced to the music of hummingbirds
And we danced in the silence when there were no words.
We danced in the shadows of fear and doubt
And we danced when we questioned what lifes about
We danced amongst the evergreens
That posed for painters winter scenes.
We danced in the winters bitter chill
And when we danced our world stood still.
For thats what love was meant to be
To find the dance when we cannot see.
To write a new song when the music stops
With lyrics that caress every tear that drops.
For when the rhythm changes and tempo slowed
Were called to dance with the seeds we sowed.
For life is hard, there is no doubt
But Dancing through it, is what lifes about.
