Understanding of the true positive
Positive thinking is strongly recommended in modern society as lots of tragedies and high-risk events are wolfing down the humanity. There lies a bunch of best-seller books about thinking positively in life and so does in business.
However, I am doubtfully wondering if it really works. Is there any other experiment to search for the guys who have thought positively and haven't succeeded in their jobs? Or, did the evangelists of positive thinking try to find the exceptional case of not-positive-but-success genius? The ground why we should be positive is too weak to follow.
[ Is it the portrait of positive thinking? ]
Here is my personal opinion but I am sure that it would be more receptible: the source of the positive thinking determines whether it is the true positive. Do you think that you are an optimist? Then consider that what the source of thinking and saying good words is. It may be many answers like your optimistic nature, a kind of duty in life, an excellent way to happiness, etc. And what I suggest as an answer is, belief.
The belief is to believe in who you are. Or in what your business is. Strong belief may deliver great motivation in life. It makes you blind from the outer environment but focus on your identity. It lets you see the purpose of your life and that brings the vividness. It gives the meaning.
Please ask yourself that what do you believe now. And if there has been nothing to believe, then start it off.
