Approaching Enthusiasm with A Positive Attitude
People often say that having a positive attitude and being enthusiastic go hand and hand. The two soft skills are often paired together because these soft skills help people become more energetic and happy. Having a positive attitude can often be defined as “having a good effect in regards to a certain situation.” This idea of having a positive attitude is important for many different reasons. An advocator of the importance of having a positive attitude is Medium.com writer and student, Ramavelu Murugesan. Murugesan has written several different publications regarding the importance of having a positive attitude. In his blog post, “Ways to Improve Positive Attitude” Murugesan explains to his audience the importance of his soft skill of having a positive attitude. He shares with his reader’s different strategies and ideas on how to develop a more positive attitude. An example of this is from his blog post is when he wrote “Associating yourself with positive people is a first step, because people who are negative all the time will not allow you display positive attitude. Another tip is be enthusiastic.” (Murugesan, 2018) In other words, Murugesan is saying that a way to practice a positive attitude is by affiliating yourself with more positive people. He says that by doing so, you are not dealing with people who are negative all the time whose negative attitudes are often contagious. The more positive people you associate yourself with, the more likely that positivity will rub off on yourself. He also says another tip is to be enthusiastic because enthusiasm and positive attitudes correlate with each other. It is hard to have a positive attitude without being enthusiastic.
