What Kind of Mindset/Spirits
You Should Have?
In Us, there was a writing competition regarding what you
want the most in your life. The organiser received more than 2000 entries. From
the survey, they found out that 51% want to be rich, 23% want to have freedom,
10% want to spend quality time with family members. Eventually, a very short
essay won the first prize. In his essay, the author claimed that he wants to be
happy and be passionate. He believes that if a person has such a mindset, he
must somehow believe that there is a chance that they will get successful one
day.
Be Happy.
Life is like a mirror, if you smile, it will smile if you
cry it will follow as well. Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone
else’s pocket – keep it in your own. “Why do I let this person control my
happiness?” Because in reality, no one should control that but yourself. For
instance, your boss, your friends, your daughter-in-law sometimes may do and
say hurtful things that are upsetting to you, but it’s up to you to make the
best or worse of the situation. Share your positivity with the world. The more
passion you can muster for the good things of life, as a matter of fact, the
happier you will be. For an example, you will feel happy when you share your
experience of using amway products with friends. So now is the time to reclaim
that key that belongs to you. Don’t let someone else control your happiness.
Be Positive and Passionate
You can turn the negative energy built up inside into
something productive and positive. For an example, there was a blind man complianed
to God that being not fair to him, he felt like the God was punishing him. A
teacher told him, “there is no perfection in this world, everyone is like an
apple, God gives a bite on each apple, some may have a bigger bite same may
have smaller. God likes you more, this is why He took a bigger bite you.”
Another story goes like this, Mick, a survivor of the plane crash, however, his
skin 70% burned. Most of the victims started blaming about their unfortune and
being very frustrated in life. However, Mick has a different thought. He kept
thinking how lucky is he, he still can use his brain to think, he felt grateful
that 1/3 of his body were not burned yet, and start thinking what to do once
his wound recovers. During his hospitalisation, he had a crush on a nurse, and he
never gave up to think how to gain her love. And one day, he recovered and the nurse
became his wife. The story tells us that
we should always be positive, live life passionately and fill our life with
things we can feel passionate about.

Teamwork
An Amway famous quoted. “Hapiness at work makes business
lasts longer, teamwork expands business.” What is teamwork? what is
competition? It’s important to recognize and understand the strengths of the competitors.
The outcome of the competition has it to be either ‘win’ or ‘lose’ only? Is it
better if we have a win-win situation? Win-win outcomes occur when each side of
a dispute feels they have won. Since both sides benefit from such a scenario.
For an example, BMW and Mercedes, they compete with each other, at the same
time they grow from time to time.
