Best Response Pat Riley

Although people tend to have a negative outlook in conflict, the best response is to be positive. “If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.” This is from Pat Riley, he is saying if you have a positive attitude then it will help overcome your problems and if you know how to get past small issues then you’ll be ready for greater problems.
Anne Frank shows ways she uses positivity. You can see as she writes her letters in her diary. One thing she says is “Father, Mother, and Margot still can't get used to the chiming of the Westertoren clock, which tells us the time every quarter of an hour. Not me, I liked

it from the start; it sounds so reassuring, especially at night.” Even though her parents didn’t like it she still liked it and made use of it. It could have been loud but she let it help her sleep at night and used it in a positive way. She uses positivity again when they were in hiding. “It's more like being on vacation in some strange pension.” Even though she was away from home and missed it, she just thought about being away in a positive way. She looked at it like it was a vacation and she wouldn’t be there for long. She wanted to think she would be back home and had to stay strong so she stayed positive.
Loise also uses positivity.

In her letter it said: “In spite of all the difficulties, Louise's positive and patriotic spirit rings true in these final words of her letter: "If American soldiers can endure hardships so can we!" She wanted to be tough like the soldiers because she knew how tough there conditions were. If they had worse then she could try to handle the heat and dust she lived in. Even though it was extremely hot and super dry with very little water, even on Sundays with no electricity she still wanted to tough it out. If people were thinking negative about it they would complain and never be able to make it through that heat. They would never want to adjust to the new weather and conditions and they would complain about it all the time, but not

Loise.
Another way to use positivity in conflict is to take a break from social media and others bringing negativity to you.

Selena Gomez shows this in a great way. She wanted to focus on her emotional health and take time for herself. “She decided to clear her calendar for the year in order to have this be her priority for future happiness and didn’t want to leave any promoters at bay,” a source close to Gomez told PEOPLE at the time about the star’s career break. “She feels relieved that she can now make more sense of why she was feeling the way she was and is optimistic about the future.” Even though Selena was going through hard times in her life she knew the right thing to do was take time for herself. She was stressed, overwhelmed, and depressed and she didn’t want that negativity in her life so she had to find a positive way to help herself. That’s what everyone should try to do because if she were to deal with that in a negative way she would’ve had more stress and it’s not good for you. Negativity can affect your

health.

In conflict not all people think using positivity will help you solve your problems so they turn to negativity. “Relationships need to be robust to contain and transform friction and conflict. You can build trust following a breakdown; find a way of equalising power relations without denying the inequalities with regard to different kinds of power; enhance sensitivity to others through empathy and compassion; seek out one's blind spots in awareness of others.” This is saying that in a relationship when an argument happens, you might be mad at them but in the end you can see that trust has built and become more sensitive towards each other. If you were positive you wouldn’t have an argument and build that trust and empathy for people.
Overall, the best response to conflict is positivity. Positivity can help you get through your problems much easier. It’s also healthier for you especially if your conflict is already negative you don’t want to make it worse. It’s easier to see life and make things easy for you.
