How full is your bucket?

In the 1950s, Don Clifton discovered an important problem while teaching psychology at the
University of Nebraska. He began to wonder if it was more important to study what was right for
people. So over the next 50 years, Don and his colleagues did millions of interviews, focusing on
the positive instead of the negative. Early in his research, Don found that our lives were shaped
by interactions with others. Whether we have a long conversation with friends or simply place an
order in a restaurant, all interactions make a difference. The outcome of our meeting is hardly
neutral. They are almost always positive or negative. Although we take these interactions for
granted, they accumulate and have a profound effect on our lives.
Defer and the Theory of Bucket : Each of us has an invisible bucket. It is constantly empty or
full, depending on what others are saying to us. I feel good when the bucket is full. When empty,
we are awful. We also have invisible altercations. When we talk to fill other people's buckets or
do something to increase our positive feelings, we also fill our own buckets. But when we bite
from someone else's bucket by talking or by reducing their positive emotions. we lower
ourselves. Just as the cup overflows, a full bucket provides us with positive prospects and new
energy. Every drop of the bucket makes us stronger and more optimistic. But empty buckets hurt
our sight, lower our energy, and damage our will. So it hurts us every time someone spills water
out of our buckets. So we face choices every single day.: We can fill other people's buckets, or
we can take our hands off them. It is an important choice that has a profound effect on our
relationship, health, and happiness. Just as the cup overflows, a full bucket provides us with
positive prospects and new energy. One drop of the bucket makes us stronger.

Relentless negativity resulted in a 38% pow death rate- the highest in U.S military history. /A
negative mind drives man to death. A desperate disease that destroys life's will
The North Koreans had put the U.S Soldiers “into a kind of emotional and psychological
isolation, the likes of which is never seen generally.” By subtly eroding the caring, trust, respect,
and social acceptance among the U.S soldiers, the North Korea made an environment in which
buckets of the good will were constantly and ruthlessly draine.
they used informing, self-criticism, breaking loyalty and Withholding all positive emotional
support for break the mental and mind, it made U.S soldiers died.

The #1 reason people leave their jobs" they don't feel appreciated. /Get recognition.
the concepts of “recognition” and “praise,” these are two critical components for creating
positive emotions in organizations.
It's the most important thing in this chapter and just one person can infuse positive emotions into
an entire group by filling buckets more frequently.

bad bosses could increase the risk of stroke by 33% / With good boss my heart going to healthy.
If you work with a boss you don't like, you'll be less productive.
- A survey of employees in the medical field found that blood pressure

disheartening, it’s expensive. It costs the U.S. economy between $250 and $300 billion every
year in lost productivity alone. nearly 10% of the GDP.
we can see the cost, that is almost make a company.

- To analyze the impact of a single employee on a customer base, 4,538 calls made to the call

scared off every single customer they spoke with in a given day and those customers did not
return.

65% of Americans received no recognition in the workplace last year/ Compensation for work
performance is required
- Sixty-five percent of Americans say they have never received praise or recognition for their
outstanding work over the past year.
- The surprising fact that while employees all want and need praise and recognition, no one is
actually fully recognized.
People need to recognition is can protect disengagement too.

9 out of 10 people say they are more productive when they're around positive people./no one
want negative
Most of us grew up in a culture where it's much easier for people to say what they did wrong,
instead of praising when they were successful. Although this organized approach may have
evolved unintentionally, it is nevertheless prevalent throughout our society.

We experience approximately 20,000 individual moments every day./Moment determines life.

According to novelist Daniel Kahneman, we experience about 20,000 personal moments a day.
Each " moment " lasts for a few seconds. When you consider strong memory, positive or
negative, the image in your mind is defined by correct timing of memory. And a neutral meeting
rarely stays in your mind. The moments that remain in my memory are almost always positive.
In some negative cases, a single meeting can change your life forever.

picked anything more suitable.

Too much positive emotion? More than 13positive interactions for every 1 negative interaction
could decrease productivity./ Even the exercise that's good for you can hurt your health if
overdone.

- Experts in positive psychology have found that the ' frequency ' of positive actions, even small
ones, is very important.
John Gortman, who has made pioneering research on marriage, said that there is a " magic ratio,
" which is 5 to 1, between positive and negative interactions.

The closer the ratio of positive interactions to negative interactions is to one, the greater the
chance that a marriage will be successful.
But when the ratio gets closer to one to one, marriage " turns into a divorce."
- This ratio is also important in workplace life.
A recent study found that where the ratio of positive to negative interactions is greater than 3 to
1, productivity is much higher than where the ratio does not exceed.
Fredrickson and Losada's mathematical modeling of positive to negative ratios -If the ratio of
positive to negative interactions rises to 13:1, things get worse.

Extending longevity: Increasing positive emotions could lengthen life span by 10 years./The
Philosopher's Stone is a Positive Heart

- Positive emotions protect us from health hazards and depression and help us recover from pain,
injury, and illness faster. In addition, it can extend its life span.
- Researchers who studied 839 Mayo clinic patients over a 30 year period found a link between
optimism in how people explained life events and a lower risk of early death.

chapter Four – An Overflowing Bucket:

Filling a bucket increases their positive feelings. To explain the long-term effects, one of the
coauthors, "Tom Rath", tells his own personal story. As the first child of a large family, he
benefited from a unique way of raising children.

From the day he was born, his family decided to help him concentrate on what he did best. They
provided continued support and encouragement. Then he became four years old, and his mother
and grandmother discovered a very strong interest in reading. after they would sit with him teach
how can read and help to get more interest to read. also, when his got an 8~9 his family noticed
his budding entrepreneurial spirit and support also his shared benefit with his classmate. His
family's teaching, nurturing, and attention it is very effective him and make different. It make
was easy to see that they were looking for early clues about his natural desire and talent. That's
why he made a big difference in his life. Focus on his bucket and encouragement,

At the age of 16, Tom was diagnosed with a very rare disease called the von Hippal – Lindau
disease. He lost his left eye. There was a possibility of tumors appearing all of the body and there
won't advance warning. Tom got shocked and nervous at the news for the first time. but in some
ways, that did not break his mental. after day on, his family helped his instead of sticking to his
negative or uncontrollable aspects, so after he could concentrate on what he could do. He never
depresses.
What he received as a family member has had a big impact. He never gives up. He sought and
studied ways to fight against the disease. He couldn't sit around and think negative thoughts or
find enough to apologize for the situation.
It won't do him any good. Furthermore, the author feels that such rolling would have worsened
his emotional and physical health. He says he has no choice but to concentrate on what he can do
next to overcome his illness. Honestly, it is easy to maintain this attitude every day. Simple.
Nearly 30 years later, he cannot remember a single day his bucket was continuously filled by his
family and friends. Considering his continuing physical difficulties, filling up the bucket at this
height has literally saved his life.
In our life we get a big challenge in life. And sometime feel life is unfair and that time we think
about "why always happen to me, why" but today we learn about his life. Our reactions to
difficult events and emotional states are even more important. Positive reinforcement of
strengths can prevent you from being overwhelmed by the negative. And understanding what we
do best not only allows us to survive, but also grow up in the face of adversity.

When personalized, specific, and worth it, awareness is highly valued and effective.
Some people may prefer quiet encouragement or more vocal praise at the meeting.
What I'm saying is that there is a unique and concrete way to fill each individual's buckets, and
there are some that are least appropriate. People look for more meaningful and personal
perceptions. The same prize is meaningless to everyone.
The authors say that if you cherish their contributions and want people to understand that they
are important, the recognition and praise offered should have a specific meaning. Not only is
individual buckets more effective at improving productivity at work, they also build sustainable
relationships and change people's lives.

Prevent Bucket Dipping: It is also related to making best friends. This is helped continue being
best and good friends to people, Before I say negative things, and in some cases, I will make
myself and the people around me feel good by saying more positive things.

Shine a Light on What is Right: Never judge the long-term influence of filling others’ buckets.
When i asked my friend's dream or other thing. Positive emotions create “chains of interpersonal
events,” the far – reaching results of which one may or may not get to see in person. But they are
there and happening. Every time you fill a bucket, you’re setting something in motion. Fill their
bucket in return by saying “thank you,” letting them know that time recognition. In turn, I'm
more likely to share my positive energy with friends.

Make Best Friends: In this case, I felt this week, I lost my card and when I check the Module, I
finished my read in kindle, and thought about " Yes, let's do that" but I saw the Kindle doesn't
have pic, and that time I thought about where I barrow some money. If I have some best friends
in school it wasn't problem but I don't have best friends yet. In class and school if have some
good friends we can share good idea for class and can give to help each other, and very helpful to
mental problem too. and we can create positive interactions

Give unexpectedly: Think about that for give to flower to girlfriend I can imagine her smile. and
sharing some kind of personal problem, a secret with friends and girl friends can fill his or her
bucket. Also, it is example and also true but I want say " I learn so much thing in this class,
sometime struggling but give to a lot of help, thank professor Judy

Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you this golden rule is not work at our
bucket, The right way is to do what others want of me. Because we have to think and implement
what we learned in chapter 5. Everyone's different have to know about what she/he wants, it also
help for make a best friends in class or our work place.

A positive mind makes everything possible. This is also relevant to my work. f I were negative, it
would be infected my coworkers. Negative hearts kill myself, Every moment is precious. We
experience approximately 20,000 individual moments every day, we don't know when we choose
this moments what kind of effective come, also when become a boss or supervisor in team or
workplace we have to care about everything everyone is different, The power of optimism will
help transform people, unite teams across race and gender, and play a proper role as an
organization member and individual. So, a team leader should be positive. reputation and
integrity also very important because when we have chance for project people think about his/she
good dependable worker who is accountable for their actions and getting work done in a timely,
efficient and professional manner? Also, ask for can make good positive synergy.
And when we work at company in my onions is think "this company is our or my company' if
just think about ' that time can feelings of bonding, inclusion, care, responsibility and devotion
towards it. I just work for money whatever' it going to difficult to work. Also, we need a rule

positive and have a good influence on each other.

We can see Tom Rath’s chilled hood in (Chapter Four – An Overflowing Bucket –how full is your
bucket by Tom Rath) how he can find a his talent, they family how could help to him.
, They helped him find his talent and interest and grow it. They didn’t teach to how can sing to
pig, looking carefully what is his interest and think about how can help the grow the interest.
The family’s true care is help his filling bucket.
When I read this book I can feeling, this is not only for baby to friends same, I talked about
positive mind in other question. Yes be positive to baby and friends, say good and positive thing
tell them. When they lose the way, get a interested more to them and find a they are interested
and talented together, and Then their raise the self-esteem.
They will be finding another way soon. In my opinion, doesn’t need to teach. If I act and filling
buckets, people around me will feel it. And follow, like Tom rath.
