The advertisers who believe in the selling power of jingles have never had to sell anything.

Women tell me they are different since 21 May - the day I was arrested - it's a positive change they believe now.

No I was never one of those positive people who believes he can have whatever he sets his sights on. I just kept working at it.

Instead of yelling and spanking which don't work anyway I believe in finding creative ways to keep their attention - turning things into a game for instance. And when they do something good positive reinforcement and praise.

We believe that it is very important that we have hopefully averted what would have been the most substantial headwind of all which is a default for the first time in our history and that that will contribute to a more positive environment that we hope will allow for greater growth and job creation.

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.

That something extra I believe is a certain humanity that comes from upbeat and positive human interest letters and success stories. Advertisers like to be associated with those qualities.

People don't believe in positive changes anymore.

I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference in a very political family that believed in the importance of public service.
