Positive Attitude Behaviors

Daryl R. Gibson

One of the ones that keeps coming up is a request for tests that would predict whether
someone has an attitude that is positive or not. There are a lot of personality tests that attempt to predict how someone looks at life -- but even the best test is just a simulation.

Instead, the best way to predict whether a person will have a positive attitude or not is to look at their basic behavior to life.

More than just a belief, deeper than just education, personal behavior is an Indication of who you really are, not just who you say you are. As the old adage goes, "I couldn't hear what you were saying because your actions were speaking so loudly."

What are the behaviors (or if you speak the Queen's English, behaviors) common to someone who has a positive mental attitude?

1. Positive people act as if there will be a million tomorrows
   
   
   We all know people who act as if the world will end any minute. These "Chicken Littles," named after the famous childhood story about the Chicken who runs around screaming "The Sky is Falling," constantly believe that the worst possibility is right around the corner.
   
   In my lifetime, I've heard numerous people predicting the "end of civilization as we know it." All of them have been wrong, so far.
   Negative people classify anything new as "evil." They classify anything old as "good." They refuse to have hope for the future, because they don't believe in it. Positive people are hopeful people. They aren't blind to the world around them, but they tend to see the beauty, not the ugliness.
   
   A negative person will look at the clouds in the sky and expect a catastrophe. A positive person will look at the clouds and see the beauty that is in them.
   While a positive person acts as if there will be a million tomorrows, a negative person usually stays mired in a million yesterdays.
   
   
   
2. Positive people concentrate on the here and now
   
   Just because they believe in the future doesn't mean positive people live in it. They know that the "here and now" is the only life we have. They make the most of the time they have, because they have a lot of things to accomplish.
   Positive people concentrate on the "here and now," not the "there and then."
   
   
   
3. Positive people see the best side of others
   
   Most of us have something in our life, our looks, or our character that we're not too proud of. We have flaws in our character. While the negative person concentrates on those flaws, in himself or others, the positive person will concentrate on the best parts, not the worst.
   
   
   Think about the most positive person you know. Have you ever heard him/her say anything bad about someone else? If you have, it's likely it was accurate, but most of the time, you have likely heard that positive person pointing out the good points of another person.
   
   
   We all have the opportunity to see the best in others -- and as Abraham Lincoln said, "If you look for the worst in people and expect to find it, you surely will." We should constantly strive to look for the best in others.
   Sure, we all have flaws -- but those flaws are what make us interesting.
   
   
   
4. Positive people are goal-oriented
   
   
   Why goals? Let me quote from Earl Nightingale: ""People with goals succeed because they know where they are going...It's as simple as that."
   Positive people choose their destination -- they don't just allow themselves to be pushed along by the prevailing winds.
   
   
   Positive people know where they're going, and they want to get there. Negative people don't know where they're going, and they don't want to arrive.
   
   
   
5. Positive people work to make the world better
   
   
   There are all sorts of contributions they make -- from planting flowers to coaching kids baseball teams. No matter what they do, they work to make the world better, because they believe they can make a difference. Negative people never feel they can make a difference in life -- and so they never do.
   
   
   
6. Positive people take responsibility for their own moods and actions
   
   
   While negative people blame the stars, karma, God, and other people, positive people know that more than anything else, their own actions dictate their future success. Positive people do not let their moods be dictated by the weather, the news, or the TV schedule. They know that their moods are under their own control, as are their actions. They accept the blame, or the credit, for the actions they have made, and give credit when it belongs to their co-workers.
   
   
   
7. Positive people do not give up
   
   
   Positive people have learned that persistence pays off. They don't give up at the first sign of trouble, but keep going until their goals are reached. Like the bulldog, they grab hold of their quarry, and hold on tenaciously.
   
   
   Well, how did you do? Do you have a few places where you could do better? Are there some chinks in your armor? Be positive toward your abilities, keep your hope focused on the future, and stay positive.

To grow up the value of business

So many people especially that have operational in the business want to know, how to grow up the value of them trade of business. Of course that is a normally question.

As basically to know the value of the business is beginning from:

• Material Stock
• Work in progress
• Intellectual Property
• Obligation

Goodwill

Goodwill is an asset intangible that as symbol of reputation of the persistence of potential business or term used to reflect the portion of the market value of a business entity not directly attributable to its assets and liabilities; it normally arises only in case of an acquisition.

Factory and Equipment
Factory and equipment can mean as the machine, motor, tools and peripheral, accessories and computer

Equipment Facility Permanently Installed
This case is related with the rent of the building, what kind of the equipment facility that installed in building of rent that want to using for operating of business, can be sale, get or change that appropriate with the own of business. Example: air conditioning, stove, rack and other machine.

Material Stock
The value of the business as generally promote by advertise for to sale include goodwill, permanently equipment facility, dynamic inventory and stock at valuation (SAV).

Work in progress
Some of business be sale include with value that give to contract and work progressive to do with customer.

Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property is the collective name to every patent right that protected by patent registry, design or brand of company, license of business or company name, copyright and confidentiality. The scope of Intellectual property can be as the customer list, industrial process and trade of technical.

Vendor Obligation
The obligation of vendor as really not include calculate with value to sale. As generally the buyer not want to buy of:

• Money Obligation
• Credit Obligation

M & E > Grounding & Bonding STP Copper Cabling System

Grounding and bonding is the single most important practice for the protection of people and property. Throughout the industry, there is a misconception that grounding and bonding of shielded twisted-pair (STP) copper cabling systems is more difficult, more time consuming, and more technique sensitive. This is simply not true.

Properly grounding and bonding an STP copper cabling system is straightforward and essentially no different than grounding and bonding a UTP system. The grounding and bonding requirements specified in the current TIA J-STD- 607-A Commercial Building Grounding (Earthing) and Bonding Requirements for Telecommunications are applicable
to both STP and UTP systems. It doesn't matter which type of system you're installing!


Grounding & Bonding STP in the TR
In each TR, any metallic component that is attached to the telecommunications cabling infrastructure, or comes in contact with any other metallic component attached to the infrastructure, must be bonded to the telecommunications grounding busbar (TGB) per the TIA standard. That includes racks, ladders, enclosures, metallic cable tray, and equipment like patch panels, routers, and switches. This process is exactly the same for both STP and UTP systems.

Shielded patch panels, jacks, and cable have the grounding and bonding built in. So once the cable is properly terminated to the jack and the jack mounted to the patch panel, bonding and grounding is complete.


Grounding & Bonding STP at the Workstation

Grounding and bonding STP at the workstation is more straightforward than you might think. In a permanent link, the shield is bonded only at the TR end as previously described above. The workstation end of the permanent link is not bonded to ground. This is the same for both UTP and STP systems.

In a channel, the bonding of the permanent link shield to ground at the workstation end is accomplished by connecting a shielded patch cord between the outlet and the equipment. This results in a ground condition at both ends of the channel. It's as simple as that!


Maintaining continuity of the shield

In an STP system, the shield should completely surround the cable along its entire length, and the shield should remain continuous along the entire length of the channel. This is accomplished by using only shielded products throughout the entire channel, from cable to plug to jack to patch panel.
Proper installation is also central to maintaining continuity of the shield. When terminating a shielded jack, the shield must make contact with the connector. Because today's shielded connectivity hardware is made completely out of metal, ensuring that contact is quite simple. For example, Tyco Electronics' shielded jacks feature a spring-loaded cable strain relief that automatically provides a 360-degree contact to the terminated shield.


Proper grounding and bonding is a sizeable job whether it is UTP or STP, and there is virtually no difference in the requirements between the two. Yes, the shield must maintain continuity throughout a channel, but achieving that condition is as simple as properly terminating the shielded jack and using shielded components throughout the channel. In today's IT world, it is VITAL for customers who rely so heavily on their communication system to ensure proper grounding and bonding – whether
it's a UTP or STP system.
