What is difference between Positive Attitude & Negative Attitude?

A person with a "negative attitude" tends believe their best days are in the past. There is nothing to "look forward to" and considers it a waste of time and energy do anything other than (accept) or prepare for an upcoming disaster.

A positive person never wants to give up trying. A negative person is so cynical they toss their hands up in the air and say, "What's the use?!" A person with a positive attitude (welcomes) tomorrow as an opportunity to change things for the better. A person with a negative attitude is (afraid) tomorrow will change things for the worse.

If a person with a negative attitude says 'I can't', a person with a positive attitude will say 'I can'.

If a person with a negative attitude remains in trouble,  a person with a positive attitude focuses on solutions of the problem.

A person with a negative attitude will find a complaint at anyone, while a person with a positive attitude will find only positive things at others.

A person with a negative attitude pays attention to other peoples shortcomings, while a person with a positive attitude pays attention to the virtues of others.

A person with a negative attitude see only limitations, while a person with a positive attitude always see opportunities.

10 ways how to protect yourself from negativity:

1. Don't take other people's negativity too personal,
2. Spend your time as much as possible with positive people,

Don't forget that life is a crazy ride. Learn the rules of driving and don't drive with a high speed on curves and narrow roads.

You can have a positive attitude, but don't be sursprised when you are disappointed. You can have a negative attitude & be pleasanltly surprised when things go right. Reality is a combination of the two.

A different opinion. The concepts of 'Positive Attitude' and 'Negative Attitude' have been misinterpreted widely and both need to be avoided. Being 'Realistic' is the right action because positive attitude and negative attitude are just beliefs. You are either believing things will go fine or things will go bad. Let us assume someone believes everything will happen for good and keeps trying. If he fails, it will surely depress him. If not for the first failure, a number of continuous failures will depress him eventually leading him to think negatively. So attitudes (optimism or pessimism) should not work as driving force behind our actions. As I understand, 'passion for life' is the only trait that one needs to cultivate. Thomas Edison failed10,000 times before inventing bulb. I wouldn't believe that was positive attitude, but a passion towards what he was doing.

positive attitude is when you attract people towards you, your ideas , your company & negative is when you repel people away.

Having a "positive attitude" means a person believes everything happens for the best in the end. They tend to focus their energy on finding solutions to problems.

A person with a "negative attitude" tends believe their best days are in the past. There is nothing to look forward to and considers it a waste of time and energy do anything other than (accept) or prepare for an upcoming disaster.

Negative attitude is a pessimistic mind-set of a person who is not capable of handling critical issues as he easily gives up and does not bother to explore  available means that lead to the resolution to an issue or problem.

Negative attitude negates life - they are good for dying but not good for living. Life needs positive attitudes; life feeds on them because they make you not only happy but creative also

A positive attitude can achieve long term goals easily and in time but the negitive attitude can achieve some initial goals but for the longer time, you can not get your goals, because with negative attitude you will disappoint/disheart your lower staff, who are doing the real job, like labour, foreman, supervisor etc.
