I went to a marriage function with a friend,to a nearby city.As he was a businessman in that city ,he was having many acquaintances at the function there.
First he met one of his acquaintance who also was a businessman.In his casual talks he asked how his business was.And the man replied : “Ya,it’s going very well and now I’m wishing to do more promotional activities.Then,how is yours??
Then my friend replied:”Ya,mine too is going very well”
Then he met another one who was also a businessman.Again,In his casual talks he asked how his business was.And the man replied : “Actually,I think recession has hit the business and it is very bad these days, How is yours??
Then my friend replied:”To be frank,mine too is very bad”
In fact,they all were doing the same business and recession hadn’t hit their business till then. Since the first person was an optimist,rather than fearing recession he was trying to overcome it.But the second person was having a pessimistic view and was totally distressed with the fearing of recession.
I was really thinking of the contradictions in replies of my friend for the same questions. Talking to an optimist makes you motivated and in the contrary talking to a pessimist demotivates you.And more,Whatever we think and do we get it back.
And as it is said,A half filled glass can be looked upon in two different ways-Some say it is half filled and other says it is half empty.
