Today I have to go to a benefits orientation for my new job a the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Success at work is more than just performance. Being successful at work is based on more than just your work performance. A large part of it is your attitude. We’ve all heard the phrase–is the glass half empty or half full? We know what it means, but how does it apply to the work environment? Easy, it’s based on how you see things–either you’re an optimist or pessimist. Being the person in the office with a positive outlook and attitude can really help you get ahead. Being positive means you are a team player. Bosses like that. Here is a list of phrases you can use to project that “can-do” attitude.
THE OLD WAY - THE NEW WAY
It’s too complicated - We have the opportunity to be first
We don’t have the resources - Let’s look at it from a different angle
It will never work - Necessity is the Mother of invention
There’s not enough time - We’ll give it a try
We already tried it - We’ll reevaluate some priorities
There’s no way it’ll work -We learned from the experience
It’s a waste of time - We can make it work
It’s a waste of money - Think of the possibilities
We don’t have the expertise - The investment will be worth it
We can’t compete - Let’s network with those who do
It’s good enough - We’ll get a jump of the competition
We don’t have enough money - There is always room for improvement
We’re understaffed - Maybe there’s something we can cut
We don’t have enough room - We’re a lean, mean machine
It will never fly - We’ll never know unless we try
We don’t have the equipment - Maybe we can sub it out
It’s not going to be any better - We’ll try one more time
It can’t be done - It’ll be a challenge
No one communicates - Let’s open the channels
Isn’t it time to go home? - Days go so quickly around here
I don’t have any idea - I’ll come up with some alternatives
Let someone else deal with it - I’m ready to learn something new
We’re always changing direction - We’re in tough with our customers
It’s too radical a change - Let’s take a chance
It takes too long for an approval - We’ll walk it through the system
Our customer won’t buy it We’ll do better educating them
It’s contrary to policy Anything’s possible
It’s not my job I’ll be glad to take the responsibility
In halloween 2000 I was the devil. This picture reminds me of a really crazy halloween party I went to that night. Good times with John and Julia from the FerroLiquid Crystal Lab.
Anne-Sophie arrives to Denver today to spent the celebration of the New Millenium with me.

Back in high school we all look like either heavy metal or new wave junkies. I didn’t get into salsa dancing later on my life but I was really into dancing new wave. Flock of seagulls anyone?
Pachanga Diaries goes Back to the Future. Since back in 1977 I was already fascinated by dancing. This picture shows my first dance with a kindergarten girl called Lucy. I have always been a very high energy boy … and curious.
We were dancing Vals. It wasn’t until ten years later that I was introduced to New Wave (yes, new wave. I know, I was a dancing freak out there on the floor) and then salsa dancing. I think I could handle it since I was five and a half. You can tell by my little smile. Little V. was thinking – “Me likey !” Picture circa January 1977
