what do you wanna be when you grow up?

God, I would hate to fill my home or workplace with such posters, notwithstanding the fact that they provide witty out-of-the-box messages. The negativism will surely pull down the enthusiasm of those reading them and have a detrimental impact on their subconscious minds if they get to read them day in and day out. All it does is to encourage losers to be losers.

Instead, I have always encouraged my kids to imagine and pursue their dreams - no matter how hard or how long it will take them - as long as I know it is doable. Instead of being discouraged by whatever limitations their situation may impose on them, I teach them to be resourceful and work around them. And this does not necessarily mean using extensive financial resources.

My oldest son is now an incoming freshman at Stanford University. He carries with him a healthy attitude of knowing that he can achieve his goals by being diligent in his pursuits, by not being discouraged by limitations, but by daring to pursue his dreams, one step at a time.

Yet there was a time he wasn't excelling academically. What if I had told him then to stop pursuing his goals and to accept his limitations instead of encouraging him to keep on trying, even when his objective of studying in one of the world's best university seemed so far fetch at that time? What if I had put up that poster in his bedroom?

Oh boy, I hate to even think about it. The world has already far too many losers as it is.

hehehe

millions of people in the country are thinking positive naman eh

they are thinking positive makaka-abroad sila

It's my dream to work abroad in different continents one step at a time.
My dreams came true! Hehehe

I'm just being positive all the time. Not delusional nor limitation or potential...How about you man?

Those who lack imagination are imprisoned by a wall-less prison from which there is no escape.

A loser looks at the poster and laughs, contented he is not the one in the photo. After all, he can’t imagine the exhilarating experience of flying high above the ocean – an experience he will most likely never know because he doesn’t dare imagine in the first place.

The thinker looks at the poster and wonders why the photo has been cropped as not to show the boat from where the person enjoying the breeze and view took off. And he wonders and imagines when will it be the next time he gets to soar that high again.

Who would you rather be?

definitely agree!

[jpdm]

That is not really thinking positive. It is daydreaming. Thinking positive and taking the effort to persevere over the long term to complete the required tasks to achieve your goal is obviously way way different from trying to win your dreams in an instant.

Agree and +1

That's the right attitude!

I definitely know why!

[ocanursjr]

How about those thousands who are positively thinking they would be the lucky dude to win the Lotto every time they buy a lotto ticket?

It's normal for people when they buy a lotto ticket. Don't tell me you are buying lotto ticket for charity..

so what's your point dude?

people who buy lotto tickets dream of winning

they dream of getting rich instantly so they can live their dreams

they are thinking positive diba?

all of them are... millions of them

sa sobra positive thinking pinaplano na nila kung ano bibilhin nila pag nanalo sila

tapos?

only 1 or 2 win

asan na positive thinking ng mga hindi nanalo?

dreams

delusions

funny thing about india, they have a nuclear weapons program, but close to/more than 90% of its population live in poverty. That's not what i would call progress.

dude, your decision in sending your kid to Stanford is excellent

that will make him see how small and insignificant and unimportant the Philippines is in the grand scheme of things

i'm not always bearish

my bearishness is location specific

if you have big dreams and you're at the right place, great things can happen

if you have big dreams and you're stuck here, you can only go so far

the best drivers go to F1

the best actors go to Hollywood

the best pool players and boxers compete at Las Vegas

i don't care how much positive thinking one has

i don't care how many inspirational and motivational quotes one memorized

if you're stuck here in these poor Pacific islands, your just a midget

even if you're the tallest midget

you're still a midget

better to have rockets and missiles and nukes AND have poor people

than have NO rockets and NO missiles and NO nukes AND have poor people

[ocanursjr]

Now, who needs reality check

:peace:

Well,its not 90% but only 42%.

2005 World Bank estimate, 42% of India's falls below the international poverty line of $1.25 a day (PPP, in nominal terms Rs. 21.6 a day in urban areas and Rs 14.3 in rural areas); having reduced from 60% in 1980

This can be partly explained by their closed and rigid social stratification system called caste system thats why alot of people in India are still poor.

But, still India is now part of the prestigious so-called BRIC countries and among the highly industrialized "developing" countries aside from Brazil, Russian Federation and China.

:peace:

[jpdm]

Now, who needs reality check

[uls]

Now, who needs reality check

in the global pecking order, countries with bigger weapons get heard more than countries with pathetic little weapons

and those with the biggest and most powerful armed forces and biggest and scariest weapons get to sit on the Security Council

you don't get to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council just for being a nice guy, dude

reality check?

not me
