Life is loaded with obstacles and tragedies. However, let’s not take our long lasting moments of joy and ecstasy for granted! Of course we can’t circumvent every disaster, but that doesn’t mean we let them dominate our lives and overshadow the blissful events that follow. Staying positive is the most potent weapon against failure, while negativity only aids it. Negative thoughts predetermine failure, while a truly optimism approach is the most excellent route to success. Students who constantly dread failing their exams are more prone to failure. If only they invested their precious time in studying as opposed to whining and making rueful predictions, their results could positively dazzle not only the teachers but themselves! Optimism extinguishes your fears and rekindles confidence within you, driving you to that extra mile. By clinging on to pessimism, you will have to embrace yourself for a journey filled with pain and regrets. By staying positive, you have absolutely nothing to lose.
