More From Jean Rostand

I think i'm a realist. which people who don't like me consider to be pessimism. it isn't pessimism at all. if i was a pessimist i wouldn't get up, i wouldn't shave, i wouldn't watch batman at 7:30 a.m. pessimists just don't do that sort of thing.

The more sincerity is developed, the greater share of truth you will have. and however much sincerity a person may have, there is always a gap to fill, for we live in the midst of falsehood, and we are always apt to be carried away by this world of falsehood. therefore we must never think we are sincere enough, and we must always be on our guard against influences which may carry us away from that sincerity which is the bridge between ourselves and our ideal. no study, no meditation is more helpful than sincerity itself.

Pessimism doesn't grow your business or even maintain the status quo. the pessimists on your staff make the job harder for everyone around them. they make difficulties out of opportunities.

Optimism is a tonic. pessimism is poison. admittedly, every businessman must be realistic. he must gather facts, analyze them candidly and strive to draw logical conclusions, whether favorable or unfavorable. he must not engage in self-delusion. he must not view everything through rose-colored glasses. granting this, the incontestable truth is that america has been built up by optimists, not by pessimists, but by men possessing courage, confidence in the nation's destiny, by men willing to adventure to shoulder risks terrifying to the timid.

Pessimism is easy. we all can do it. we don't need to read books on how to be pessimists. we don't need guidance on how to think negatively. but we do need guidance on how to think positively. people that write books on how to do that are multimillionaires.
