DON’T BE MOLDED COLE SLAW

“Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.”

dALE CARNEGIE

PROBLEMS

• You have a sinus infection, but you decided to go to work…
• Your husband filed for divorce, but you decided to go to work…
• Your mortgage loan was denied, but you decided to go to work…
• You didn’t get the promotion, but you decided to go to work…
• You were voluntold to work overtime, but you decided to go to work…

Yes, sometimes life sucks!  But most importantly, you decided to go to work. 

ATTITUDE

Your attitude at work is your responsibility.  Stinking up the workplace with a poor attitude is counterproductive & selfish.

REPLACE THOUGHTS

While riding to work you must replace any negative thoughts with constructive thoughts. 

DEEP BREATH

When you park your car, take a deep breath, and repeat “I CAN DO THIS!  DON’T BE MOLDED COLE SLAW!”

When you greet your co-workers, greet them with animation and enthusiasm.  Then go look in the mirror and repeat “I CAN DO THIS!  DON’T BE MOLDED COLE SLAW!”

PERSONAL FRUSTRATIONS

Don’t share your personal frustrations with your co-workers unless they pertain to your job.  It could possibly decrease motivation and cause conflict with your co-workers.  Consider workplace counseling or talk after hours with someone you trust.

TIME & LABOR

Remember, your employee pays you for your time & labor.  It is your sole responsibility to be punctual, a team player and to have a positive mindset towards your work environment.

Yes, sometimes life sucks!  Yes, you won’t be happy all the time!  Yes, you may hit rock bottom.

No matter the crap that falls in your lap, before you withdraw, say “I CAN DO THIS!  DON’T BE MOLDED COLE SLAW!”
