Instead of yelling and spanking which don't work anyway I believe in finding creative ways to keep their attention - turning things into a game for instance. And when they do something good positive reinforcement and praise.

I think every time I go in a game I have added something positive. I have gotten a rebound or made a defensive play. That is what I try to focus on.

The nature of catastrophe is after all reasonably unvarying in the way it ruins destroys wounds and devastates. But if something can be learned from the event - not least something as profound as the theory of plate tectonics - then it somehow puts the ruination into a much more positive light.

That something extra I believe is a certain humanity that comes from upbeat and positive human interest letters and success stories. Advertisers like to be associated with those qualities.

There is something in even the darkest situations that we can make a positive in our lives.

I've had a lot of very positive feedback about those stories and seem to have struck upon something that most people feel. I can also tap dance and don't know many other authors who can.

I always had this non-stop drive. I had to keep sending stories out and every once in awhile I'd get something accepted or get the little trickle of positive feedback.

I would like to do something dark or small. I love independent films. I love emotional scenes. I love people who are struggling with something. I think it's just the juxtaposition to my incredibly happy positive demeanor.

It's a problem for him because he's got - like Edward VII had - nearly all his lifetime to wait until he becomes Monarch. What is he going to do with it? So he wants to do something positive but he always courts those dangers.

When you come off something really disappointing you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

I had to come from something come from a place that was negative and positive but the majority of it is a negative place.

I think I make films to help bolster and feed the part of me that wants to remain in a positive relationship with the world and to engage in it. So hopefully in non-sentimental ways I'm trying to make something that helps make me happy.

No matter who you meet in life you take something from them positive or negative.

I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special. They've made a great success of their country and the people are fed up with the constant reporting of only the problems and poverty of the continent. They welcome something which puts the positive side.

At the end of the day the question comes what are you doing for the world? You have to try to do something that's going to add something positive.

I've noticed that my resolutions involve me not doing stuff that I wasn't going to do anyway so here's something more positive. I'm going to retrain as a Latin teacher in a provincial public school.

I've been singing for six years. I've been in and out of the studios with top producers but it wasn't something I was ready to express to the public or to the press. I wasn't ready to come out. I wanted to perfect my voice and be 100 percent positive that I could come out right.

Say and do something positive that will help the situation it doesn't take any brains to complain.

Some people never contribute anything positive to society they may even drain our resources but most of us try to do something better to give back.

The difference between the men and the boys in politics is and always has been that the boys want to be something while the men want to do something.
