One of the few things we have complete control over is our attitude.
When faced with adversity, we can choose to focus on the negative in
the situation or the positive. A positive mental attitude, or PMA, is
something everyone can adopt with a little practice. The benefits of
a PMA are beyond comprehension, and according to many achievers, the
number one reason for their success.
A positive mental attitude is seeing the benefits, opportunities, and
good in situations rather than the setbacks, problems, and bad. More
important, it is focusing on this positive and using it to your
advantage. PMA is asking how something can be done rather than saying
it can't be done. It is the driving force behind persistence and
perseverance.
There is a belief that nothing in this world is "good" or "bad", but
rather everything is balanced and it is only our perception that makes
good and bad. Whether you believe that to be true or not, it is hard
to debate that perception and attitude have much to do with how we
view the world.

「よいよ、またこのうるさい役回りか。やってられん。」と思うのか、「このことでは、信頼されているんだ。がんばってやってみるか。」と思うのでは、違いますよね。
不安になったり、仕事に行き詰ったり、後ろ向きになりそうなときに、このような考え方があるということを思い出してみてください。あまり楽観的すぎてもいけないのでしょうが、やはり、自分自身がどのような「心もち」でいるかで、ものごとの結果も、満足度も変わってくるものです。そして、先生のもつ、ポジティブな姿勢はきっと、生徒にも伝わるはずです。
