Positive thinking..? What do you mean by positive thinking..?
Positive thinking is simply thinking right, in right direction with right attitude. To be more precise thinking in a way such that one can reach a Win-Win situation..
Win Win situation is a scenario where everyone included today or tomorrow, directly or indirectly are benifitted। I will take you through a quick example in a short story
Story:
Santosh is working in a call center। He is from a vernacular medium school and had to do a job due to unavoidable responsibility he owes to his family. He could read English but was unable to get the exact meaning of the content. He felt shy about this weakness and would never express it to his friends. This is pure example of negative thinking. People were under the wrong impression that he understands everything he read. One unfortunate day he had such a bad experience that he could not forgive himself. He started crying and started abusing English language. The unfortunate thing was he lost his job due to a blunder a mis-communication of the email he received from his senior.
Analysis:
Now considering the scenario two things are happening, first one he is crying and second one he is abusing English language. Now people think that crying is negative thing...and start convincing him and try to make him laugh or stop him from crying. but this is not positive solution..
Positive Solution:
Ideally goal should be to encourage him for improving English language. One should make him realize that the sorrow he has is negligible to what other people in the world are facing. Give him examples of scenarios worst than what he has seen , heard or experienced. Suggest him tips and techniques to improve his command on English language. Give him some similar examples where he will feel that there are people worse than him in this world , make him feel proud that the thing happened with him is negligible in comparison to others.
Result:
Once this is done he will surely hold back his tears , identify his weakness and with positive attitude will share the same with his close mates. He stared reading English novels, new s papers, magazines etc daily instead of crying for not having a job. One fine day in the search of the job he goes to a cyber cafe and comes across a blog which explained him a story similar to his life experience like you are reading. Fortunately he got the job offer on the same day .Today he is working with a MNC . Currently he is also coaching school students of vernacular medium to improove English that to free of cost.
Result Analysis:
Now where is a win win situation? In this scenario people are benefited first the boy learnt English language , second his friend was successful in counseling him, third all the school students who got a teacher fourth the parents of the student because you remember the coaching is free of cost. This is power of positive thinking.
