Many successful authors tell us that the best way tosucceed and be happy is to avoid thinking about failure and to focuson good things. One of these theories comes from a small book calledHow Full is Your Bucket? by Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton.The idea behind their work is fairly simple, positive thinking fromyourself and others will make your life better.    Theauthors say that the idea for their work is based on a historicalcase. During the Korean War, a large number of American troops werebeing held prisoner, and many of them died in captivity. Apsychologist found that the reason for their death was the total lackof hope the prisoners felt. In other words, the authors of HowFull Is Your Bucket? say it was because of negative thinking.The story shows us the terrible power of negative emotions.     Theauthors of the book also believe that every interaction we have withother people affects us deeply. Our lives are shaped by ourrelationships with others. The authors believe that experiences withothers are always either good or bad but never neutral. This bringsus to the bucket idea. Imagine that everyone has a bucket. Everypositive interaction adds to the bucket, and every negativeinteraction takes away form it. It works whether it’s anotherperson’s negativity or your own; they both take away from your ownbucket. The best way to live is with a full bucket, which is theresult of positive thinking and interactions with the people aroundus. Positivity is almost like a magic cure, according to the book.It gives us energy and makes us stronger, healthier, happier, andmore successful. Is the secret really that simple? It’s up to youto decide. (Ivy Test 1-1)
