Avoiding company gossips and people who complain all the time makes the job more enjoyable, unlike this scene from NBC’s “The Office.”

Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative

Staying positive at work is as important and as basic as putting on your shoes before you walk out the door.

With heavier workloads, concerns about job loss and fewer resources and people to complete projects, it's easy to fall into a funk. Too many people allow a negative attitude to color their outlook and performance.

Sometimes you have no control over what's going on. Negativity thrives when people expect a logical explanation to a situation that doesn't have a logical explanation.
