“We feel most energetic and empowered around some people yet totally exhausted with others. Attitudes that we allow around or inside us may either energize or deplete us”
Think of a friend or a co-worker you have. Under the same difficult condition:
– one is Staying Upbeat – staying positive … with “Yes-Can Do” attitude – the other is Staying Up … Beat – feeling & talking defeated … unable to sleep
Which one will be less exhausted? Who do you think will have the stamina to solve issues more effectively? Which one would you hire if there was a job opening?!???
It is more fun to be a winner than a whiner.
Develop a winning attitude You will be in better company-Louise Aznavour

Staying Upbeat can be learned
Louise Mission Statement

We feel most energetic and empowered around some people yet totally exhausted with others. Attitudes that we allow around or inside us may either energize or deplete us.
Think of a friend or a co-worker you have. Under the same difficult condition:
– one is Staying Upbeat – staying positive
– the other is Staying Up … Beat – feeling defeated … unable to sleep
Which one will be less exhausted? Who do you think will have the stamina to solve issues more effectively? Which one would you hire if there was a job opening
