Sparking your attitude

What does it take to spark your attitude?  Could it be as easy as a passing smile from a stranger? 
In the auto industry we talk about a 10 foot rule.  What that means is that you must acknowledge any person that comes within 10 feet of you.  Not a long conversation, just a pleasant "Good Morning" will work. 
Do you believe Zig Ziglar when he said it you give enough people what they want, you will get what you want?  I believe that to be true.  Would that start your day off right or turn it around?
Think about it, your walking through an office building, bank or car dealership and everyone seems so nice.  They calmly acknowledge you and are so pleasant.  Would you notice the atmosphere?  Could that change your attitude for the day?
Would you risk taking a chance and trying the 10 foot rule just to see if it makes a difference?
Well, that is my challenge to you.  Don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with a stranger at the grocery store, and talk to people you don't know.  You know how most great jobs are found?  It is by talking to people and they know somebody that knows somebody!  You get in touch with their friend and bazinga, you have a new opportunity.
Work on your attitude every day!
