Five positive thoughts for 2009

Five positive thoughts for 2009
(from blogstreet, jobstreet.com)

Hi, how is everyone? While some of us here at JobStreet.com were never away, some others were away for the long year-end break. But we're all back in the office and raring to start off another year. We know this year is going to be a tough challenge for the countries in this region, for the businesses in this region and, well, for all of us in this region. If there is an economic storm coming, we won't be spared. We'll just have to brace ourselves to meet it in the best way we can. But we're confident that we'll all survive whatever downturns that the economy will throw at us.

Meanwhile, during the holidays, I received an email which I thought, mmm, is interesting enough to share with you. I call it Five Positive Thoughts for 2009 and they are:

1) Forget about the past. Whatever failures happened in 2008 already happened. Just use it as a benchmark to improve but never as a guideline why you cannot achieve success in 2009.

2) Many people wish for a better year in 2009. Don't wish. Wishful thinking doesn't get you anywhere, especially success. Commit to what you want to achieve and achieve it for your own benefit.

3) Be a positive thinker. Think positive about 2009 regardless of the recession because your mind WILL influence your actions.

4) If you have to whine and blame, DO IT NOW. Then get over it and start afresh in 2009.

5) Have a plan. Plan it out and know what are the steps that will get you closer to your goal. You can't get to your destination if you don't know what and where is your destination.


Make sense? Yah, they make sense to me. I hope they make sense to you.
