I often wonder why we focus on the negative rather than the positive.
Have you ever watched parents look over their child’s school report?
The child may have an
A – in math’s
A- in English
A– in Geography
D in History.
What do you think the parents focus on?
Yes, you got it – they focus on the D and wonder what went wrong.
An adult is wearing a white shirt and they are heading out to an event, however, just up near the shoulder there is a black smudge.
What do you think everybody’ tends to see when they look at the shirt?
You got it again – the black smudge.
Hers another example from who is considered a GENIUS
Albert Einstein once wrote on a blackboard:
9 x 1 = 9
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 4 = 36
9 x 5 = 45
9 x 6 = 54
9 x 7 = 63
9 x 8 = 72
9 x 9 = 81
9 x 10 = 91
Suddenly chaos erupted in the classroom because Einstein made a mistake.
Obviously, the correct answer to 9 × 10 isn’t 91.
And all his students ridiculed him.
Einstein waited for everyone to be silent and said:
“Despite the fact that I analyzed nine problems correctly, no one congratulated me.
But when I made one mistake, everyone started laughing.
This means that even if a person is successful, society will notice his slightest mistake.
And they'll like that.
So don't let criticism destroy your dreams.
The only person who never makes a mistake is someone who does nothing
Let’s start to focus on the POSITIVE
