Moral Lesson # 1 : The success of your life lies in your perception.


The difference between a successful people and a non-successful one will always depend on their p p perception to identify opportunities. Never underestimate the p y pp power of positive thinking!

Moral Lesson # 2 : Positive thinking makes you competent.


A not-so-positive thinker simply does not have the drive and perseverance to handle his life and business. When you have a positive perception, you can actually visualize the path to success and you are able to identify advantageous opportunities.

Moral Lesson # 3 : Positive thinker is an optimist


A positive thinker is also an optimist. Seeing the bright side of things is not everyones forte. He has to readily face the demons of his own creation. This means he should not treat his life and business casually and work really hard to make it a success.

Moral Lesson # 4 : Positive thinking always motivate YOU!!!


Your positive thinking will motivate you to attain goals and ambition you never thought p positive thinking will g y g get you through bad days. You p g y positive thinking g was possible. Your p will always motivate you to see the brighter side of things.

Moral Lesson # 5 : Positive perception will reflect your LIFE!!!


Further, building a positive perception is not only about YOU; your positive perception will reflect and benefit your life and business as well. As in the story above, you need to have the perception and optimism of Jake to succeed.
