`The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects the wind to change; the realist adjusts the sails'.
William Arthur Ward
Life is not what happens to us. It is what you do with what happens to you. There are many things on which we have no control. There are many things which we may not like, but we cannot wish them away. Some events around us will be helping us, and some others may hinder our progress.
We have to make best use of what is available to us.
Pessimism and optimism are two states which we should know how to use the same. Ask a stock broker and he will tell you. When everyone is pessimistic and sell their shares in panic, a optimist will buy the same. When everyone is optimistic and buy a share, he will sell! This strategy makes them to earn!
I read somewhere that this is what Franklin Templeton did during the recession and he made millions of money! I don't know if it is true, but I like this strategy!
Just ponder: are you using both favourable and unfavourable conditions around you?
