Wealth creation – Rule 4 (Optimism)



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”.
