Have an exceptional insight

Post 19 To be able to see what others cannot

When one is an optimist, one expects to win; and when one is a pessimist, one does not even hope. A winner has an exceptional insight in fulfilling his or her expectancy and works towards that goal with confidence. Winners are able to see what losers cannot.

I am very much impacted in life by the following sayings which I learned during one of my Chinese lessons in school:

“Fishes choose to live where there are waterweeds;
Birds prefer to perch on selected good trees; and
Wise officials want only to serve under virtuous masters.”

Fishes have their own sense of judgment in pursuing what they want for a comfortable dwelling place; birds of good breed have the instinct to know the best place to rest; and officials who have integrity and are wise will choose not to wallow in the mire with corrupt masters who are evil.

Thus, to live a life guided by an exceptional insight is an excellent choice.
