Enthusiatic Attitude

Enthusiastic Attitude

Stop fighting against what you have to do,
Turn it into what you want to do.
For any given task, you can be miserable and plodding or you can be enthusiastic and highly effective.
It all depends on your ATTITUDE.
Instead of dreading or avoiding something that you must get done, choose to look forward to it.  Then jump in, make it happen and get it finished once and for all.
It's really very easy to make a change in your attitude.
You can do it without lifting a finger.
With a positive, enthusiastic attitude toward whatever task you must complete, the work will go more quickly and smoothly,
And you'll feel a whole lot better while doing it.
Decide that you truly want to get it done and soon you'll be reaping the rewards of your effective effort.

- Ralph Marston

I carry a tattered copy of this quote with me wherever I go. As I begin this First posting on the anniversary of the beginning of my career in publishing... (I am not a writer by trade - thank goodness who is out there counting all my grammatical errors and I can't find the spell check on this thing!!!), I am entering into a new world and bringing with me my prized Brooklyn, NY - Spartan/Theban "Attitude".  (Gulp!)
