Difficulty in every opportunity or opportunities in every difficulty?...

Such great words would have been once said by someone great. I think statesman Winston Churchill would be great enough to qualify that.

One man’s calamity could be another man’s opportunity.

Never to forget “Difficulty breeds opportunity”.

Many universities who do research often said that the optimists would give up their mission when they saw something unforeseen but pessimists would instead gauge their limitations and challenges and make it happens and indeed go on to succeed in their projects.

So seeing an opportunity isn’t sufficient to make you an optimist and successful, but instead

It’s the effort to take up the challenge and not make reverses and rejections redound to your advantage.

In a person’s life cycle, it is normally not possible to always remain an optimist; we have this change of perspective in different stages of our life. 

We realize that optimism is about facing the problem as it is, and succeed in its completion without finding an escape route.

BE an Optimist with the foresight of gauging the depths of trouble ahead.

One of the stories we all know about a human mind block can be explained with this one:

The Elephant Rope

As a man was passing the elephants, he saw such huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He asked a trainer nearby why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to getaway. The trainer said when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

It isn’t sufficient to take the good out of everything and accept the things that happen to you, you have to fight to get the outcome you have desired to achieve.

Most people would categorize optimists and pessimists as two kinds of people. It may be true but I thought deeper about it; 

We all live a life not free of scars, we all have our fears and inhibitions in life, we teach our minds to live in recluse but those scars still affect us somewhere.

What am trying to say is, Maybe we become pessimists at some point due to our circumstances and fears, so we literally live the optimism and pessimism through us.

So let us bring out the smarter optimist from the inner US.

Or I may rather say

Instead of being an optimist or pessimist, just be an Opportunist!!

Tomorrow, you will see another calamity arising, decide what you choose it to be for you!
