Fish is a book about the importance of a good attitude in the workplace. The book stresses that you must choose your attitude each day that you go to work. Attitude was at the center of the book’s message, but it was only a part of that message. There were four steps in the fish philosophy of a happy workplace: choose your attitude, play, make their day, and be present. Choose your attitude tells the reader that you must choose what you are going to make of each day. If you go to work unhappy you will make everyone else around you unhappy and your time there all the much longer. If you go to work happy and looking forward to the day, others will be happy and your time there will go by faster. The second step …show more content…
She did not just give up like many would have when she seen the horrible state the third floor was in. It was also nice that Mary Jane had to turn to others for help, which brought more realism to the book instead of her just coming up with the philosophy herself. One thing the book could have included was more opposition to Mary Jane’s leadership. These people were on the third floor for a while and I don’t believe they would have been such pushovers for change in such a short amount of time. Also the end of the book didn’t do much for me. I for one could see Mary Jane and Lonnie getting together from the moment they met. It would have been nice to see a different twist on the ending.
Working in the service industry, I can really relate to this book. One of the attitudes we are taught as manager at my workplace is “Be Here Now” which is an open door policy that is in place for all employees. You are also taught to always be present for customers at all times. We also have other programs such as “Magic Moments” which teaches the crew to create special moments for the customers whenever they see an opportunity. Coming to work with a good attitude is also a very important part of our business. On the personal side of things, I think choose your attitude is very important to anyone’s personal life.

In Charles Swindolls Attitude, he opens the article with, “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.” In this first sentence, the reader feels the sense of power that the author is trying to portray. In addition, this first sentence has a lot of meaning to my life. For example, when I was deployed to Guantanamo Bay Cuba, conducting detainee operations, it was my positive attitude that made me enjoy myself and my brothers under the harsh conditions. I was able to assess the situation from my own perspective and change my way of thinking, to enjoy the little things in life while I was there. As Charles Swindolls article goes on, he then says, “We cannot change our past…We cannot change the fact that people will act

When an individual is struggling in life nothing positive comes to mind. Asking for help is something not everyone is comfortable with so they only rely on themselves. Any stranger can approach a person that may seem like they are struggling and help without them expecting it. Some may expect family or friends to help when in need, yet they are the ones that don’t help. A significant theme in Finding Fish is the people who we least expect to help are the ones that actually help the most.

Fishing is a fun way for me to spend some time with my family members and just relax feeling the refreshing breeze hit my face. I enjoy going with my older brother to the lake here in Newton or Out in other towns. One time me and my brother went to a lake outside of Newton in a different town and stayed there for most of the day. We hardly caught anything but it was fun being out there with only my older brother. And the fish we did catch were all to small to take home to cook and man I wish we did catch a big one.
To understand how this pattern happens, scientists take a look at embryos. Sometimes they interfere with the development to see what occurs when things go wrong. Scientists use chicken eggs to study this. Just by adding a dab of vitamin A on a chicken embryo, you will get a mirror image of the embryo. The patch of tissue is called ZPA.
Increasing productivity and sparking motivation in employees, are challenges that managers, businesses, and organizations have struggled with for centuries. While there are many beliefs about which method(s) yield the best results, and what is considered to be the desired result, a ‘one-size-fits-all’ management technique still does not exist. The current movement in psychology, called Positive Psychology, focuses on what is “right” in an individual, and not on their faults. This basic concept is starting to extend its influences into the workplace, making it seem that Positive Psychology may become the key ingredient corporate culture, and all places of employment alike, have needed to promote success and satisfaction in their lines of work.

However, for people who have more patience and are still interested in learning to fish you may want to follow some basic steps.

All you need is a fishing pole and a pre-supplied tackle box.
The book Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin is an interesting novel that shows the evolution of some of our major structures through time. We all know about evolution and the monkeys but we never really looked in on evolution through “our inner fish”. The book was appealing because it helps to understand how we have come to be with some of the parts of our bodies we take for granted, like how we got our developed smell or our advanced color vision. Your Inner Fish is a good way to jump into the evolution of our ancestors and become more knowledgeable about where we came from.
High-performing organisations focus heavily, in their recruitment and selection procedures, on attitude assessment. Attitude is the component of employee behaviour that indicates motivation-support for organisational goals, potential for active involvement I improvement processes, and cooperation when required,
Fishing is an activity I have enjoyed doing ever since I was a little kid. In fact, one of my first fishing voyages was with my grandpa when I was about eight years old. He was an avid fisherman who went fishing almost every day and knew everything there was to know about fishing. Grandpa got me hooked on fishing. After Grandpa died, my dad picked up where Grandpa left off. We had a pontoon, and Dad took my brothers and me fishing whenever we had the chance. To this day, I still love fishing just as much as I had on my first fishing trip with my grandpa. Many people enjoy hobbies that are relaxing and peaceful, and others prefer exhilarating activities that never have a dull moment. I enjoy fishing because it has some of both.
In the self-improvement book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, author Stephen R. Covey presents an integrated and principle-centered approach for solving personal and professional issues and problems. Covey uses real life examples as well as his own experience to reveal a step-by-step way for living with integrity, honesty, and self-respect.

Everyone deals with setbacks some point in their life, but it’s important to keep striving to reach difficult goals even when life gets rough. Attitude determines the way someone faces obstacles and what the challenge means to them. Having a lousy attitude allows you to see obstacles as threats and annoyances. Even if you overcome them you will find the process frustrating which will make future obstacles hard to cope with. Therefore, hard work, high energy, and a positive outlook will guide you towards great success, despite the challenges you meet on the
Attitudes and emotions in the workplace are extremely important because they dictate job performance. The emotions that people go through are something that cannot be avoided; however, they can be manipulated. Managers, leaders, CEO’S of companies learn to do this by experience and training. They manipulate employee’s emotions with the purpose of achieving better performance and satisfy an organization’s goals. Although people have always had different emotions, the notion that managers need to care for employee’s satisfaction and happiness is newly implemented in the workplace. In this paper, I will be explaining the impact of attitudes in the workplace, how mood, emotions, attitudes and behavior affect job performance and I will implement the point of view of the CEO of the Defense Commissary Agency, Mr. Joseph Jeu.
