“Passion is a positive obsession. Obsession is a negative passion.”

How far a boat can sail in the deep ocean if all are handicap?
Yeah…that’s how you feel when you see your team is with negative approach!
Even before the match if you predict that we are going to loose then what did you played??? You will be surprised to read the below quote from Einstein 😀

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” ~ Albert Einstein

I think its better to die in the battlefield rather than running away as coward: D
May be these are too harsh to say here but that’s how I feel when I as a PM trying to motivate the team for the success of the project and one single person with his/her negativity…. creates all the turbulence.

“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.”

Today, finally the Release Manager asked me…what is that person up to as I always see that person bringing some or the other issues rather than giving a positive approach to it…!!!
It’s the faith in yourself….or else it’s the belief that you are setting yourself for the failure from the beginning..!

“Fear is a habit; so is self-pity, defeat, anxiety, despair, hopelessness and resignation. You can eliminate all of these negative habits with two simple resolves: I can!! and I will!!”

I always believed in myself if not anyone else…and hence I have always conquered through difficult situations just by keeping that light of flame burning even when the tides and winds were high and heavy: D
“Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one” ~ Hans Selye

My only advise to the person today was…’have patience’ and probably the person understood: D I hope!!!!!

“Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.” ~ Buddha

But the best part is my rest of the team has so much faith and trust in me, which inspires my confidence level …and guess what…am being consulted in many occasions for project management…now is that good or bad…the work load will tell 😀

“When you respond to life, that’s positive; when you react to life, that’s negative.” ~ Zig Ziglar
“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.” 😉
