POSITIVE THINKING Helps ...

A shoe manufacturer sent two of their salespeople to Africa to open up new markets. A couple of days after arriving there, one salesperson named Peh See Mee, called the office and said to his manager, "I'm returning on the next flight. There is no market for shoes here. Nobody wears shoes." At the same time, the other salesperson named Oh Tee Mee, sent an email to the manager telling him that "Nobody wears shoes here. As long as we can educate them on the benefits of wearing shoes, the markets are unlimited."

This is the classic story told many times over and over again about positive thinking and negative thinking. Some would try to make it a little different by changing the product from shoes to bras. Whatever it is, the moral of the story is:

Peh See Mee is pessimistic. A pessimist sees difficulties or calamities in every opportunity; Oh Tee Mee is optimistic. An optimist sees opportunities in every calamity or difficulty.
