With no doubt that if there are 100 people, all of them have different conception, perspectives or ideas on stuffs. But, nothing weird about that owing to the fact that we are human beings, and we have the equal right and privilege to verbalize our feelings and ideas. However, you are able to see massive differences occurring between two people when they encounter and go through the adversities and serious obstacles along the way. Some of them are capable of scrutinizing the immediate problems and defining them with a positive way. Yet, some are not. This demonstrates the difference of people these days.
Let me raise a story of Charlie Ward. He was born into a very poor family in a small village, and every day he had to force himself to sell the newspaper in the market in order to seek money and support his mother’s suspense on renting house and other stuffs. His life was bleak. When finishing high school, Charlie Ward got to know one companion, who is rich and considered a very bad boy, for he liked to play gambling, and take drugs illegally. Let just imagine this terrifying situation. One days Charlie Ward was accused of using drugs, and he was sentenced to years in the jail. This signifies that friends with whom you associate are not always good at all. You have to be smart enough. You have to be able to scrutinize the right and the wrong things that you are going to do. In the jail, Charlie Ward just had a feeling of regret that he had to have a friend like that. Yet, one perception popped up in Charlie Ward’s mind. It is I Have to Do Things with Positive Mental Attitudes. This inspired Charlie to make the best of his bad situation. And he also inspired around 50 people in the jail as well by telling them to apply PMA to their real life. That was good. Fortunately, after Charlie was set free and completely released, he was chosen to work for a company named Brown & Bigelow because he has a positive mental attitudes and a peace of mind. In his first position, he was able to earn 25$ per a week. Years after that Charlie has been promoted to the next level. Amazingly, the president of Brown & Bigelow Company died, and Charlie was nominated to be the president. From that time on, the company could earn millions of dollars, and the company has been widely known and popular for its kind. Totally, the positive mental attitude is really powerful, and it can tremendously change people’s life.Most people cannot imagine that Charlie Ward’s life was so bright. Yet, nothing is impossible if you hold the conviction that you have to have the positive mental attitude in mind. And, you have to be able to cope with and tackle the problems with a positive way, regardless of how big the problem is. Be positive in any way.
Another story is about Nick Vujicic. Nick Vujicic is broadly known for a man without limbs, yet he manages to inspire millions of people in the world. How awesome he is. Just imagine the man without limbs. Does it seem easy to do everything? No! That is why some of you might automatically say this man is really a burden to their family. At first, when Nick makes a comparison himself with others, he tends to feel down and upset. At times, he overthinks that one day if he has a wife, how can he take care of his wife and children. All those stuffs really demotivate him, and he sometimes tends to commit suicide because of his bleak life. Honestly, thanks to the fact that Nick was nurtured with positive thinking from his parents, he feels motivated. His parents always give love caring to him. With regard to all of the positive thinking, he just thinks that he is created by god. God creates him for a purpose, so he has to serve that purpose and make the best of his life. That is considered the positive mental attitude since he does not want to live by his circumstances and does not want to be a burden to everyone. With this positive way, Nick found himself good at public speaking. From that time on, Nick tried to develop his skill. Years later, he successfully developed his skill, and he went around the world to inspire people who are faced with severe problems in their lives. How great he is.
Ultimately, with the really motivating stories shared by two people above, I hope that they will give people flashes of motivation in applying positive mental attitudes to their real lives.
