           Are we born with positive or negative attitudes or do we develop them?  Personally, I believe it can be controlled either way. Don't dwell on your troubles and feel sorry for yourself. Try to stay positive and find a solution. Keep things positive at home and work or school. You'll not only feel better yourself, you'll also fill someone else's bucket.  Ilike the five strategies for increasing positive emotions. Stop dipping and start filling. Focus on the positive rather than dwell on the negative. Treasure friends, happy people stay positive. Giving unexpectedly, gifts, favors, compliments, etc. really fill emotional buckets.  Acknowledge other's accomplishments; do what you'd like done to you.  Individualization is key here.  Take every opportunity to increse positive emotions of everyone you come into contact with.  Now, let's fill those buckets!      pp.  65 -111
