Wealth creation – Rule 4 (Optimism)
If you
must create wealth then you should be optimistic. An optimist is someone who
always expects good things to happen or things to be successful. An optimist
sees positivities where others (pessimists) see negativities. He has the
mindset that “all things are possible”. Not until your attitude towards wealth
creation changes your attitude for wealth creation remains stagnant. It is
often said that a great height cannot be attained by a sudden flight. Some time
ago I heard a story about a hunter who by chance came across the egg of an
eagle.He took the egg and added it to
eggs of hen. The mother hen on hatching the eggs also hatched the eagle’s egg.
The eaglet on growing up started feeding like the chickens. But one day the
eaglet discovered that the chickens are
not like itself. As if that is not enough, the eaglet saw a mother eagle which
looks like itself. Then the eaglet asked itself
why it has resemblemance with the one up there in the sky yet itself
can’t fly.One fateful day, while the mother eagle was flying up there, the
eaglet took a leap and fell. It took a leap again and fell the second time.
Fortunate for the eaglet the third leap took it up there into the sky. Thus
leaving the chickens on the ground and joining the mother eagle up there in the
sky. One thing was sure for the eaglet on seeing the mother eagle.The eaglet
believed that its destination is up there and not in the company of chickens. By
this, suffice me to say that one who must create wealth must be optimistic.
Food
for Thought: “Kill and bury the pessimism in you, then the
optimism will come alive”.
