Instill optimism and self-confidence, but stay grounded in reality.
Being optimism is not "not expecting trouble." Optimism person always gets accurate grasp of the present situation, recognize the trouble and soive it. This person has the clear vision of the future since he (or she) trust himself (or herself) and others.
What makes people optimism? I summarised 5 important points.
1. Thinking the future
Optimism people never obsessed by the past. They face to the future, to change the situation.
2. Approaching the goal
They have their own goal, and make efforts to reach it.
3. Being "excellent"
They try to be excellent. "Excellent" does not mean "best." Each of people can be excellnt, and there is not difference.
4. Focusing on results
They always cares results. To do their best, they seek the best action.
5. Facing to problems
When they face to the problem, they seek the solution of it not the problem. This must be possible.
6. Take a quick action
They take a quick action. They never prolong.
These are the essential of optimism and most of good successors have these optimism action. These are not inborn nature, but can be developed by experience or practice.
Hi Hiromi, Great, your summarizing is easy to understand. Does being "excellent" mean that everyone has the possibility to do something excellent? It is a little be complicated.
