A BITE ON "POSITIVE THINKING"


We talk a lot about one's attitude being 'negative' or' positive'. We find very few people with 'positive attitude' surprising everybody by their progress. One major contributor to the success of some persons is their 'positive way of thinking'. Here is a short story told by a friend during a discussion regarding "Positive Thinking".

A footwear company sent two of its salesmen
for a survey to an island where people were
living comparatively backward life. The
salesmen on their tour found that nobody was
wearing anything as footwear. After a week's
journey they returned to the company and
submitted reports prepared individually.

The first person reported

Since these people are habituated
to walk bare-footed, there is no use
trying to sell footwear here.

The second person reported

Surprisingly, nobody here is found to
have a habit of footwear. If somehow we
persuade a few persons to wear our chappals
and shoes then I am sure we will have a
big demand created within a short time and
our company will make huge gains !!!

I don't think I have to say anything
further to describe what the difference
between 'Positive' and 'Negative' thinking is.
