This very simple story illustrates the difference between positive thinking and negative thinking.
“Many years ago two salesmen were sent by a British shoe manufacturer to Africa to investigate the market and report back on the marketing potential.
The first salesman reported back, “There is no potential here – nobody wears shoes.”
The second salesman reported back, “There is massive potential here – nobody wears shoes.”
This simple short story provides one of the best examples of how a single situation may be viewed in two quite different ways – negatively or positively.
Do you look at problems and disadvantages or do you see opportunities and benefits.
It’s all about your perspective isn’t it ? - as these two quite different interpretations are made of exactly the same situation.
