How You View The World

Stephen Covey related this story which beautifully illustrates the way we view the world. A man and his two children boarded the train. Soon, both his children were creating havoc and disturbing other commuters. After much restrain, Covey spoke to the man:


The man replied:


Why your mindset is a receipe for success (or failure)

Upon hearing that response, his either worldview of the man shifted. He continued:


That’s it! Your worldview shapes the way you think, which in turn shapes the way you feel, and hence influence what you do (or not to).

Hence, when you see a situation, do you see an opportunity or do you see a threat? Is it the end or the beginning?
