I Am Always Improving Myself

Reading my book to learn social skills I came across a story that I would like to share. It's about our attitude to interpret the things that happen to us.
It puts the stress on a positive way for oneself to see events or situations and even from a funny way if it's possible.

The story that is narrated as it was a real event but it doesn't give details so I can't say if it's real or not, is the following:

A famous writter was sharing time with his friends and received an envelope with a white sheet and a single word in capital and enourmous letters. The single word was MORON.

I'm sure I would have had all kind of stupid and catastrophic thoughts, making myself in real a moron but the guy said: I've received many letters in my life without a signature but never before a letter with only the signature.

Yes, of course. It's a book in Spanish though. I checked if it has been translated into English but I haven't found it. Anyway, I saw books like that in Amazon, in English. But, I haven't read them so I can't talk about them.

This book is pretty practical with groups and single excercises too.
It also touches Assertivity and Emotional Inteligence as a part of Social skills.

It's a cool attitude. :-)

It sure is.
Are natural instinct is to react negatively. I like how it is changed to positive and not take it personally
