Chapter3

Instill optimism and self-confidence, but stay grounded in reality.

As I posted before, "optimism" is one key to success.

However, this book said that optimism is an ability which is cultivated by talking to yourself.
I think "self-talk" is really difficult and sometimes cannot find who I am and what I want to do.
It takes much time and often makes me confuse.

"Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can't, you're right."(p43 l28-29)
I really agree with this idea.
Therefore, I would like to do my best to be positive when I faced with adversity or potential setback since now.


In addition, I really sympathized with this sentence.
  "Effective leaders are able to look at adversity and see opportunity, even if others see only the danger."(p54 l6-7)


It was interesting to know the meaning of "Crisis (危機）" in Chinese character.
It means "danger" and "opportunity".


When we look at the bad situation from a different angle, it can be the chance to erupt great success!
I like this view, ピンチはチャンス!
