Something interesting to share !
I send my car for regular service at the Shell Station near my home in USJ. Since it would take a couple of hours, I decided to take my breakfast at nearby cafe. After I have a bowl of curry mee and a cup of Teh, I sit around to browse through my emails as well as facebook.
It was quite quiet and peaceful until a group of people sit next to me table. Since after they arrived, the whole sitting areas left nobody voice by one of them. This lady aged around early 30′s has an interesting conversation with the other 3 friends. They sound like working in a trading company because they talk about deliveries to Mydin, etc. I could not concentrate to my work as her voice is so loud and shape. She kept complaining about her colleague which join her department not long ago. She complained how she performed poorly and so on… and so on.. So, he friends join the conversation and started to give their point of view.
I think this type of conversation are common is a cafe but the most interesting part is that this lady use spoke Cantonese with all sort of 1 letter word x … 2 letter word x@…. and 3 letter word x@c and she did it so naturally. Even I sat beside the table could not get used to it ( although I have worked as a construction worker before )
Put aside the way she spoke and the language she used, my point is since she kept complaining about others, don’t you think it form a deep impression in her and may influence how she think about the colleague when she go back to office?
Throughout my working career, I attended many training and leadership development courses. One of the common characteristic we were taught was be positive. And lately there are people who share the “Law of Attraction” which evocate the believes that the more you talk about positive topics or events, the more positive and enthusiastic you become and it hold true the other way round.
Do an experiment yourself, the next time you go to a mall and look for a parking space, think very positive that you will get a slot or someone is about to leave. There is high chance that you get a parking space… Believe it or not
Well…. be positive to everything you do and you will achieve what you want !! Positive Mind Leads to Positive Actions and hence Positive Results
