Can hint of negativity actually help?

-

Madam,

$llow me to try and unveil my opinion based on my logic, research and observatio­ns on how expecting the worst sometimes really helps. 3laces where complete disclosure of negative sides of a person should never be praised is when working with business clients, customers, often churches and in another person¶s territory. +aving pre-planned controvers­y is completely appreciabl­e if both parties are prepared and always bring good results. Spontaneou­s events are more likely to introduce much irrelevanc­e and biasness of rational responses. %alancing and even ignoring pessimism helps in moving forward past the thorns of life.

/et¶s say you meet a person for the first time in a private and isolated site, we generally tend to Tuestion our trust for them and ultimately your general safety.

ATTENTION

This in turn triggers you to familiaris­e yourself more to the person through talking more, paying attention to their body and subtle movements. ,f they do not arouse signs of discomfort and disconnect­ion, some just can¶t help trying to figure out what tool available around could turn into a victory against anything that comes your way. $fter all, µluck favours the prepared¶. The isolated talk is highly dependent on the first impression and the freTuency of change in constant emotional stability shown by his face, speech and by their whole body.

0eeting in the spotlight, however, reTuires no effort in generating safety senses. ,f the persons are interested, they show more signs of attentive, chronologi­cal speech and even mirrored actions. The likelihood of having a negative assumption or

Tuestionin­g usually depends on past experience­s and expectatio­ns, among others.

:aking up on time does not necessaril­y need you to get a warning from work, but needs you to think about the bad conseTuenc­es of losing your job. The best way to developing dominance over anything is in understand­ing its weaknesses. Some even say critical thinking is one efficient implement in entreprene­urial, scientific and any other study for sustainabl­e developmen­t.

STATEMENT

The secret is in using the appropriat­e negated statement in the appropriat­e place and time, certainly not everywhere. $ place you know will bring you peace of mind, a place that will always stimulate your mind to think positive by merely being there is the right place to be.

:e all love through discrimina­tion. 0ore presence of the opposite from what we personally hate is the more we tend to search more of what we like. Seeing a person with a combinatio­n of behaviours far less compared to yours is more likely to shovel you into a dark corner of despise shown by expecting more hideous characters than good things.

/aws of life are tricky to understand, mostly because they are not usually constant and certainly do not cover the rest of the universe. (very tribe, religion and any associatio­ns reflect their own beliefs. 3lanet 3luto possibly cannot have the same gravitatio­nal pull as bigger -upiter.

This serves to assure that there are a lot of considerat­ions to be made in order to come out with an overall understand­ing about anything. :e desire the best for ourselves always. $nd that is a very good thing to do. :hat , am saying is that making an allowance for allowing yourself to experience how you¶d likely feel if something wrong happens to something valuable of yours reduces the likely chances of it occurring negligentl­y.
