Mauro Libi Crestani: A positive attitude can make one happy in life

Having a positive attitude can bring one great success. Many writings have proven that. being positive unleashes ones full potential and allows their mind not to be clouded with depression that would block their ability to think clearly and to be creative. I would like to talk about something different today. i would like to talk about a different kind of success. 

We have one life to live and we should enjoy our one life. When  was a little boy, one of my teachers tried to teach us a class lesson. She asked us what we want to be when we grow up. Most of us answered either the president or a super rich person. She then asked us if being rich and powerful would make us happy and we all answered YES. At that point she had us read a story called 'the fisher and the sea". It was about an old man that was very happy even though he was very poor and he lived in a shack. One day he caught a magic fish that promised to grant him whatever he wanted if only he would free the fish. The fisherman agreed but he said that he had no wishes. the fisherman was happy with his life. he was very happy. He got to fish everyday and he had no stress. When they fisherman's wife heard what happened, she made her husband ask the fish for riches and power and more and more each day she wanted another wish. She was never happy with what she had. 

A positive person knows how to be happy and will be successful in his life regardless of money. That person will know how to dance and sing and enjoy foods and just enjoy life. A negative person will not be happy regardless of what they have. their life will be a failure even if they are successful and rich. 

A rich businessman is quoted as saying, "We work like dogs and get paid peanuts. There’s hardly any time for holidays or just to relax in general because you’re always thinking ahead: when the next deadline or meeting is. There is hardly a fair sense of work-life balance here". Sounds like his negativity is making him a failure at life even though by other peoples standards he is a huge success. A street vendor in Paraguay (a country that tied Panama for most positive) said this about her life, happiness and money: "Life is short and there are no reasons to be sad because even if we were rich, there would still be problems. We have to laugh at ourselves."

37 percent of the people on Forbes list of Wealthiest Americans are less happy than the average American. At any given time, one forth of Americans are mildly depressed. Now we find in Latin America, their culture does not accept being negative. They dance, they party, they play sports, they enjoy life, even though most of them live in poverty. A positive attitude can make one happy in life and according to most Americans consider happiness more important to them than money, moral goodness, and even going to Heaven. I happen to agree with that.

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication.

Mauro Libi: To succeed we must work hard

One of the secrets revealed by Bill Gates, who for over 22 years has held the top spot in Forbes magazine as the richest man in the world is that in order to reach the first place we must work tirelessly, focusing on target , tirelessly and remain convinced that the chosen path will lead to the goal.  And the people who succeed tend to stand out from the rest because they are always ready for action, always available to do more, and to generate expanded opportunities , do not usually complain of life, or the people and work. They are creating Positive changes in its wake. They are creative and know how to locate the possibilities where others see adversity. Bill Gates says he was always willing to work 20 hours a day if necessary and nowadays he does the same, despite being the world's richest man. Successful people know that the road to the top is hard. It does not always yield the expected immediate results. They know that at the end of the tunnel is the goal and they in...
