Prince: Pessi Vs Opti


Optimistic & pessimistic are both crucial in any angle of our life. Although pessimistic see difficulty in every opportunity, while optimistic see opportunity in every difficulty. It is arguable but no one is able to pick either one. It is simply not possible.

I learnt that forecasting competitors’ activity needs to be as pessimistic as possible. I also learnt that in forecasting consumer trend & development needs to be as optimistic as possible. The need for these 2 thinking vary differently under different circumstance, but one important point to stress is – Optimistic or Pessimistic is just the beginning of something, it is the ‘Next Action’ that matter the most!

You can be pessimistic in every opportunity but what you plan to do with it? Do you have any solution for the difficulty you foresee? Though you may be pessimistic but without proper solution, you are done!

Many students organization in school, college, or even in your career, they keep imparting the philosophy, knowledge with recondite explanation that never been understood properly to the society, leading them to wrong direction. That’s why you came across students who never want to work after graduation, only to join Direct Sales agency, and investing over thousands RM to become a member. This may work to certain extent, 1 out of 10 may be successful, and they are the one who boast around to get more member. My advice to students, ‘learn to be led before you lead’, ‘no sacrifice, no victory’, ‘no shortcut to success!’, ‘it is never too late to be wealthy’!
