Proactive attitude
The need for proactive attitude is very important in every aspect of personal as well as national life. If you look at half a glass of water, you can say that half the glass is full, which is true. At the same time, you can also say half the glass is empty, which is also true. Obviously, the first attitude is admirable in the sense that it shows proactive attitude. Elderly members of families often demoralize children saying, “You are a hopeless guy. I cannot see any hope for you. You are a blockhead.” By showing such attitude and by behaving in such a negative way with our children, we, in fact, destroy the little confidence they have and spoil their potential. On the other hand, expressions such as “You can win, you will be successful, you are as talented as others” will not only encourage them but also bring significant improvements in their performance.
Similarly, negative attitude has eaten up our national life. Some people are so cynical about our country that they will leave no stone unturned to leave the country. According to them, this country is unfit for living, dysfunctional, corrupt, and hopeless, not realizing the fact that it is us who have brought it into this situation. And we ourselves can change it and turn it into a country which will be poverty free, corruption free, and pollution free.
