Study shows that people with a positive attitude earn 50% more!

The Golden Mindset

Yesterday I read something that made me so so HAPPY!!

In a study over 20 years, which researchers followed a number of people from the time they began university.
When people was to start university the researchers measured their general happiness (people's spontaneous reaction to things that happen to them). 20 years later they reported their annual income and what it showed was that those who earned the best were those who were most happy when university began. Those who were the happiest at university earned 50% more than those who were the least happy.

The study confirmed that happy people do better in school because they have a positive attitude that makes them more diligent, teachers like them better and give them higher grades that allows them to get better jobs. Happy people might just be better in interviews and it may just be that they are better paid because they work more efficiently.

This has been researched on more things than just these students. Several studies show that people with a positive attitude often get a better salary. What people with positive attitude has in common is that they are more or less always happy at work.

I loved to read this, because I am a living example of how easy life is with a positive attitude.
 
When I moved to Stockholm 2008 I started to look for a job. In the end I had 15 interviews. I went on interviews with the attitude that the job was already mine. When they ask me various questions, I answered them like I already worked there. I did the same in all interviews, most of the jobs I was not qualified for.
Of the 15 interviews I was offered 11 jobs. 2 of the companies who said no to me, it was between me and another candidate and he won because of my lack of experience!

With a positive mindset you will reach further!

LIFE!

Life!

When you think about life, what is it really?For me, life is several different things!

  •     Family
  •     Love
  •     Friends
  •     Vacations
  •     The desire to enjoy life!

The last thing is the most important for me!To have family, Love, Friends, Travel and so on are nothing if you´re not ENJOYING LIFE! 

How can we get better at enjoying life?! It is a question that each person must ask themselves. What makes you happy? Is it your child / children, a good dinner, being close to someone special, travel, clothes, family, to show appreciation and be appreciated?We all have different preferences!I always, no matter what I do want to feel the joy in everything I do. I have according to me a very healthy (some might disagree) approach to how to live life. Love to be active but I can sit at home every now and then.Came to the realization over 16 years ago that life is for living. There´s no time to "complain" about things that have happened or things that never happens. Understood that one must dare to be different if you´re to get anywhere on the path to HAPPYLAND! 
Began to appreciate everything around me in a different way, showing it daily.Show your friend that you appreciate them, say or do something. When you see that one friend, sibling or parent and show them that you appreciate them, they will be happy. When you see their joy, you´ll feel joy too.I started with people close to me, then escalated it to colleagues, superficial friends, strangers and yes everyone who crosses my path. I think you can ask anyone, stranger or friend that ever was around me if they felt joy in my presence, the answer will most likely be YES=). 
Tell someone that you appreciate them is so easy and you´ll get so much back.Take control of your life and destiny. I often say that

"You are the captain of your own happiness & destiny"
