Having been there myself I can give you some of my experience. Your attitude is the most important thing when dealing with other people. Developing the tools to stay in a positive frame of mind is a life study.
You are different from everyone else but you will have similarities. All the tools you find will have to be adapted for your use.
Having a good attitude will carry you further than most any other skills when working with or being around people. Because of that, people will want to work with you.
It is easy to get sucked into the bad attitude thing because it seems that is what everyone else is doing. The most successful people in the world have a love for what they do.
Some love it when they make a big mistake because they learned something new.Some love the pain and stress of a very visible position. But no matter what happens, they find a way to look at the positive side of it. "I just lost a million dollars! But look at all the room I have in my bank account now that I can fill up!"
Although there can be many rocks in the road of life, it's best to look beyond them and focus on the broad highway that's out there. If you get a flat tire, pull over and fix it then get back on the road. Fixing flats is not what life is all about.
So develope a positive outlook in life and working with people. Being happy is the cheapest medicine in the world.
