Mauro Libi Crestani: Harvard most popular course is on positive attitude

Universities are beginning to believe in the power of a positive mindset.  At Harvard University their most popular course is on positive attitude.  Below I would like to summarize a memo to the students at Ferris State University. The memo is titled "Developing a positive mindset: changing your attitude to change your life".

In summary, the University believes that in many instances the failure of a student to complete their course of study has to do with negative attitudes. For students to be successful in school a winning attitude helps. They write in their memo to the students that " attitude is everything".

A student when he has difficulty has the option to give up or to say " I will find a solution". When things are not going well then admit it to yourself and change it. Change is always scary but less scary when you believe and trust yourself.  People who are depressed find it hard to take corrective action and tend to allow a bad situation to linger on.

Wake up with a smile and with energy. You have a lot to accomplish and enjoy today. Life is short, and you are going to make the most of this day, and every day after that.  The nature of the human mind is to offer worries, anxieties and fears. However how often do these actually come true? The mind can easily exaggerate problems making them appear more serious than they actually are. Our thoughts are also very powerful and will determine our perception of the world.  Bad times don't last forever. Say to yourself, "This too will pass."

Even when difficulties are seemingly insurmountable there is no harm in smiling at our difficulties. When we smile it releases a chemical, serotonin, which makes us feel better. Also others will respond better to people who are smiling. Associate with positive people in your classes and on campus. I would suggest you partner up in study groups and even look to either socialize or join resume building activities clubs.  High achievers, as do poor students with poor attitudes, rub off on anyone associating with either group.


Students with positive attitudes have been found to be happier, to enjoy their studies and school more and to have more friends.
