I just read a humor on traffic discussed of one of my lotters. What nice example of a negative events turn on as positive to her advantage and become humor for her to laugh. Do you have stories to reckon wherein you convert negative to positive, worked for your advantage and made you a successful person now.

Mine is a bit off, but I have experienced something negative that have worked out to be positive in the end. Well, sort of. It was just a few days back when the huge tree in front of my terrace was cut down because the owner wanted to build a house that side. The tree has been there for a long time now (even before I transferred here), it gave me a good shade and some fruit too. Now, it was cut. Right after it was cut, I immediately noticed the change in temperature. At noon it became scorching hot inside my room and the wind blew hot air instead of the fresh air brought by the tree. I had to put double curtains to keep the hot air out and the hot brightness out too! I was frantic but all I could say is that I miss that tree!! After a few days, I was really worried because my printer and desktop seems to be affected by the hot air. My plants are too small to cover the vast effect of the cut tree but at least they're there. Soon they'll cover it all up, I hope. Anyway, the positive part here is that I can now hang some clothes to dry and in just a fraction of the usual drying time, the sun could dry the all up. The positive here is that I can now hang some clothes without fear of them becoming wet due to rain. Yes, it's a little bit off but at least I have made use of the hot weather. I transferred my desktop and my printer so that they wouldn't be directly affected. All in all, I still miss that tree. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Hmm, negative event turn to positive event? I think I have one, when I become in stress so much, my eating will be affected, since I don’t have appetite to eat properly. It’s negative of course but all in all, I become thinner and my fat figure is gone. And many people said I look better now. People thought that I am successful in my diet while in the reality I just in stress so much and lost the appetite. After all the result is good after all.

I suppose my hating going out in the cold would work for my advantage as I could do more in the house instead of walking out and falling down and hurting myself. Also it would be less tempting to go to the stores. Same with my hating ironing the advantage would be I would buy clothes that do not need ironing. I do not like baking although I like cooking and since baking means more buns and cakes that are fattening, cooking would be better. I am not that successful yet. I have work to get the money and cannot work that long on my novel every day.

Sometimes i'm affected by people around me and when i'm negative,they told me stories and made me become positive.Most important is the attitude.While i gradually learn to change that and become better and better person.lol
