From this chapter, I've learned the strategy "Instill optimism and self-confidence, but stay grounded in reality."
My high school teacher once said "Have passion like ice." I think these are same meaning.
In order to achieve this strategy, it is important to pay attention to these flowing things.
Cultivate optimism in myself
Spread the spirit of optimism
Build the right team "optimism quotient"
Know how to reframe a tough situation: If bad things happen, it is chance!! Change danger into your opportunity!!
Stay grounded in reality: Have passion like ice
Expedition Log
When I am faced with adversity or potential setback, I will tell myself that I can overcome it. I will imagine how happy I will be after overcoming it, and with this happy feeling, I will tackle it again. I can make changes to this self-talk that will create a more optimistic and enable me to bounce back more quickly. This is specific thought. The more specifically I think that how happy I will become after overcoming the adversity or potential setback, the more energy and happy feeling I can get. The word "specific" is important. My organization members are worried about our plans of activity for the future. So I would like to instill my optimism. I will say "Imagine that we succeed!!" to them with loud and kind voice. In fact, my organization lacks optimism, so I must tell them the importance of optimism. Thanks to this thought, I can stay in touch with reality and getting the full picture of my personal and organization's goal. I think people are not confortable when they give me bad news by looking at their faces.

Hi Shaw,
返信削除I love this part: "Have passion like ice." I am going to remember that.
Also, your discussion of optimism reminds me of Steve Jobs who was famous for convincing others that thngs could be accomplished that seemed impossible.
