Hope for the Best and Prepare for the Worst!

We should be optimistic in life. By optimism, it is meant that one should firmly believe that the best would happen. This belief will give us the moral boost to carry on with our efforts. Only hard and incessant efforts will lead to success.

For our efforts to be incessant, we should positively believe that we are going to succeed. This sort of positive thinking urges us onward till the end is achieved. Instead, if we get discouraged and lose heart, the chances are that we will fail to succeed.

There is another side to this, despite all our efforts it happens that we don’t succeed. If such a thing happens, we should be prepared to accept it. We should remember that defeat is yet another step to success. Our next endeavor may succeed. But instead of that, if we lose heart by our failure and remain inactive, we will be giving success no chance to help us.

Life as we all know is full of hard realities. At the same time life has its bright side also. Life is really a mixture of success and failure. Nobody is entirely successful in life. Likewise nobody can always be the recipient of defeat.

If at one time we fail, the next time we may succeed. And also remembering this philosophy of life, in whatever we do it is always better to hope for the best and at the same time, be prepared for the worst if it turns out to be so. So HOPE FOR THE BEST AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST. Such an attitude will certainly help us in life!

   Hi Shafar, I thought your post was great, but I have to disagree with one part. That part would be prepare for the worst. I think if one is that type of person that goes around being prepared for the worst you don’t leave room for the best to come into your life. Have you ever read the Secret? It’s a great book,and you should pick it up,it more or less (this is my interpretation) tells us that we can make things happen just by the power of suggestion, like wake up ever morning and tell yourself and the universe that you will have a wonderful day, instead of being the type of person who gets up and has nothing good to say about their life or their day. That person will probably not have a good day only because they have negative energy all around them. I saw once on Oprah when she had Jim Carey on and he was saying how poor and how hard his childhood was but he knew he wanted to be something or do something great. When he was around 12 years old he had made a check and made it out for a million (not sure of exact amount)bucks and had put the check in his wallet. Years later when he had been hired for a role in a movie, he received that same amount of money that he had already written the amount for years ago in his wallet.I’ve made a vision board (that’s another exercise in the book)where I have written down the amount of money that I expect to have before the end of 2009, and I’ve written down and made pictures of blogs that I want to have up and going. So I’m hoping only for the best!! Thanks Shafar and Have a Wonderful New Year.
