Be optimistic

In the aftermath of the horrifying Tsunami and Fukushima plant disaster in Japan a T.V. crew went there to document the situation. They interviewed a man who had lost everything not only his house and other belongings but his family also. The reporter asked him if he had any hope. He turned and pointed to a Cherry tree  beginning to bloom. " Look there " he said pointing towards the blossoms "That is what gives me hope."
[This story I read in an article of reader's digest September issue.]

This story gives us a wonderful message. Hope is the biggest wealth. One who loses everything but has hope can live happily but a man who has everything except hope can not live in peace.

When you are in a difficult situation just remember nothing is permanent so this phase will also come to an end. Have hope that soon the good time will start. The hope provides us a positive approach and helps us to face difficult situation. 

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” 
― Winston Churchill


Always see the brighter side of a situation. Sometimes great opportunities come to you in disguise of difficulties. Don't get panicked by seeing a difficulty. Try to keep calm and find a way to come out of it. May be this will open a new door for you.

Always keep your spirit high. One who can keep his moral high in hard time can easily come out of it. To do great things you need to dream big. Look ahead and see a broader picture. Those who dare and hold their head high can do great things.

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi

'Yes I can' this should be your motto in life. Always keep it in your mind that only a positive approach can lead you. Never lose hope no matter how tough time you are facing.
