BG’s Positively Speaking

P.M.A. What Is It?

The abbreviation P.M.A. is referred to many times in success principles and human relations literature. It is short for Positive Mental Attitude. Basically, this means banishing the negative thoughts from our minds and inserting positive ones. Finding the good in people, situations and the problems we face each day. Nothing we face in life is all negative. There is good in everything. When faced with a problem, we all tend to look only at the negative sides. But, if we take time to analyze the situation, we will find some positive aspects that will give us hope, the courage and the motivation to move beyond the problem. P.M.A. is encouraging others, with positive reinforcement, of their ability to grasp and conquer the challenges life offers. For example, praising our children, not telling them they will never be able to do something or amount to anything. Encouragement and praise are two of the most significant motivating factors in life, especially for children. If we want people to be the best they can be, we must display a positive mental attitude and lead others by example. When we take a positive attitude, we look at what can be done, not what can’t be done because…

I now know how to always have the last word.” “Wow!” said Doug, “How do you manage that?” “It’s easy,” replied Bill. “My final words are always ‘Yes, Dear.'”

Hunting With Eddie

Just before Thanksgiving, Jim and Eddie are out hunting for turkeys when suddenly Jim keel’s over and collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing, and his eyes are glazed. Eddie gets out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, ‘My friend Jim is dead! What can I do?’ The operator says, ‘Calm down, I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.’ There is silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, Eddie says, ‘OK, now what?’

The bidding was proceeding furiously and strong when the Head Auctioneer suddenly announced, ‘A gentleman in this room has lost a wallet containing ten thousand pounds. If returned, he will pay a reward of two thousand pounds. There was a moment’s silence in the auction house, and from the back of the room came a shout, ‘Two thousand five hundred.’

Officers have promised to step up patrols in the area, but residents are seeing the lighter side: “What half- baked idiots would do this? I hope they get thrown in the can!” said one resident.
