Positive
Being positive is a choice. Austrian psychiatrist Victor Frankl observed that even in the Nazi concentration camps (he survived four), people could choose their attitude. It means being ‘for’, rather than ‘against’; being ‘pro’ rather than ‘anti’. This is the spirit of Hans Rosling, author of the fabulous Factfulness, who encourages us to all be ‘possibilists’. A better world is always possible, for three compelling reasons: 1. We have seen improvements in the past; 2. We have a hand in creating the future; and 3. Being positive is a more effective and satisfying way to be in the world.
