Question

One of the greatest gifts to man from the nature is his ability to think, clearly and make decisions based
on reason, and this is what makes him different from others. Each individual is unique in his way because of
thinking. An individual’s thought process is reflected in his personality which ultimately plays an important
role in deciding the course of his life.
2. Optimism or positive thinking is all about being confident about the future or success of something. It
is this positive thinking which opens the doors of an individual. The person who is confident of achieving his
goals will make sure to put in all the hard work in the requisite direction. It becomes difficult for the failures
and hurdles to stop an optimistic person to achieve his goal. This is because each failure is a stepping stone of
success for him.
3. Although life isn’t a bed of roses, there is a way out of every labyrinth and an answer to every enigma.
There is no such problem which can’t be sorted out. At times, it may happen that a person finds himself stuck
in a situation and is unable to figure out how to proceed. In such a situation, he needs to think and analyse
carefully in order to find a way out. The journey of life isn’t a smooth one. There are a number of speed
breakers in the form of obstacles and hurdles at each stage of our life. But it is not that a few selected
individuals have to face problems in life; everyone has to face their share of problems.
4. It is just the intensity which may vary. However the thinking of a person makes a difference; how a
person tackles the situation. An optimistic and confident person will be determined to fight the situation of
giving up. A pessimistic person will prefer to run away from the situation. Such people develop a habit of
finding faults in almost everything. Failures tend to halt their journey there and then. What these people fail
to understand is that life is all about challenges and overcoming them. An optimistic person has faith in his
abilities. The word impossible ceases to exist in his dictionary. Had this not been the case, the world would
not have witnessed revolutionary inventions. Confidence, perseverance, dedication, will –power and
determination are important elements of optimism.
5. A calm and composed mind can overcome all the difficulties. One should never lose hope and let
negativity overpower him. With a positive mindset, half the battles are won. Always remember that winners never quit and quitters never win. When life gives you lemons. You’ve got to make the lemonade, should be
the motto of a happy and satisfied life.
