Are You an Optimist or a Pessimist?
By Chris Widener
I've been giving some thought lately to optimism and
pessimism. Basically, these are attitudes. Attitudes
that shape and formulate our entire existence. I mean,
have you ever met a happy pessimist? Of course not.
In short, our optimism or pessimism is this:
The way we interpret the past
The way we experience and view the present
The way we imagine the future
Have you given much thought about how your attitude,
whether you are an optimist or a pessimist, affects you
business, organization or school? Have you thought about
how it affects you personally? And what about the team
you are a part of?
What is optimism? It is a belief that things in our past
were good for us, even if that means they were hard and
taught us lessons. It is also the belief that things
will be better in the future.
Here are some contrasts between optimism and pessimism
and how they affect us:
Optimism breathes life into you each day
Pessimism drains you
Optimism helps you to take needed risks
Pessimism plays it safe and never accomplishes much
Optimism improves those around you
Pessimism drags them down
Optimism inspires people to great heights
Pessimism deflates people to new lows
There is only one way that optimism and pessimism are
the same, and that is they are both self-fulfilling. If
you are an optimist, you will generally find that good
things happen to you. And if you are a pessimist, you
will find yourself in the not-so-good situations more
often than not.
So can a person just become an optimist? Yes! We can
choose to look at the world any way we want to. We can
choose to look at the world and think the worst, or we
can tell ourselves the good things about each situation.
As you find yourself looking at your enterprise, begin
to view it through the eyes of an optimist, and you will
reap the rewards listed above, and so will the people
around you.
There are tremendous benefits to being an optimist, as
stated above. But there are some pessimists out there
who will say, "But that isn't realistic." I say "Who
cares?" If things go awry, at least I have spent my time
beforehand enjoying life and not worrying about it. And,
being an optimist, I would view the "negative" situation
as an opportunity to grow and learn. So I can even look
forward to my failures because they will be stepping stones,
and learning tools to be applied to my future success.
Have you ever met a successful pessimist? Become an
optimist and see your world change before your eyes!

Marketing Tip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create mini-sites with their own sales letters for each
product you sell rather than stuff them all in your hub
web site. Search engines help to sell your product through
higher positioning. In addition to that, it is less confusing
to potential customers thus saving them the trouble to look
for what they want at your web site.
