A Quote by John C. Maxwell

The bottom line on attitude is that a good one helps to increase your possibilities. Pessimists usually get what they expect. So do optimists. — © John C. Maxwell
The bottom line on attitude is that a good one helps to increase your possibilities. Pessimists usually get what they expect. So do optimists.
I don't know if the optimists or the pessimists are right. But, the optimists are going to get something done.
Pessimists are usually right and optimists are usually wrong but all the great changes have been accomplished by optimists.
Pessimists are toxic. I love optimists - and by that, I don't mean people who are unable to see challenges. Optimists are solution-oriented.
The positive outlook that optimists project does not come from ignoring or denying problems. Optimists simply assume that problems are temporary and can be solved, so optimists naturally want more information about problems because then they can get to work and do something. Pessimists are more likely to believe that there is nothing they can do anyway, so what's the point of even thinking about it?
The world belongs to optimists; the pessimists are only spectators.
Pessimists calculate the odds. Optimists believe they can overcome them.
The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.
Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be.
Optimists think that this is the best of all possible worlds; pessimists fear they are right.
Pessimists beat their heads against walls, while optimists open doors.
It's - everybody's looking at the bottom line all the time, and failure doesn't look good on the bottom line, and yet you don't learn anything without failing.
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.
Optimists and pessimists die the exact same death, but they live very different lives!
I thought all my life that optimists and pessimists pass away the same way, so why be a pessimist?
As a bull market turns into a bear market, the new pros turn into optimists, hoping and praying the bear market will become a bull and save them. But as the market remains bearish, the optimists become pessimists, quit the profession, and return to their day jobs. This is when the real professional investors re-enter the market.
When you plan and prepare carefully, you can legitimately expect to have success in your efforts. An optimistic, positive mind is far more likely to come up with creative solutions than a mind that dwells on setbacks and difficulties. Bottom line: expect success and you can achieve it!
