You may have heard about the well known shoe company who wanted to expand into Africa and so sent a salesperson to check out the potential for marketing their product there. A few days after arriving in Africa the salesperson sent in a report. "I'm coming home. There isn't a market here. Nobody wears shoes."
The company decided to send one of their more positive salespeople out on the same mission. Within a matter of a few hours, the salesperson enthusiastically reported the findings to the company. "The market is ripe here. There are fantastic and huge opportunities here. Nobody owns shoes yet."
What a difference in attitude and vision. The two salesman had two different perspectives of the same situation. Life is a matter of perspective. It all depends on how you choose to see it.
As we begin a New Year, one can look at the bleak situation all around - be it in India or globally and moan about it!
Or one can look at the fact that we now have a new day and a new year ahead to make it work !!
Wishing each of you and your families a year of great success, peace and happiness. Cheers 2012 !
