In times like today’s, it’s realistic to be pessimistic, but for anyone who wants to climb  the career ladder, it’s always better to be optimistic. Being an optimist  – realistic or not — allows you to to grit your teeth and keep going even when the odds go against you.

Decision makers who can make or break your move up the wrungs notice folks with a “can do” approach –no matter how tough times may be. Even underlings would rather work for someone who sees the glass half full rather than  half empty.

An optimistic person has the best chance of being promoted in good times, bad times and the worst of times. A positive attitude is crucial for career advancement.
