Turn Minus into Plus or Convert loss into gain
“If you can’t run, use a bike”
“If you have a lemon, make a lemonade” –Dale Carnegie-
Success comes to the man who knows how to turn the tide in his favor, who knows how to overcome his limitation, who knows how to find solutions. This ability to turn minus into plus is what is most important for success. In no situation do we have everything lined up in our favor to go and grab an opportunity, our path is always laid out with certain problems and limitations and it is he who can handle those best will succeed.
Man does not have the ability to survive in the jungles like most animals can, he cannot live in the wild like them and hope to survive for one whole year, his body is not strong enough to tolerate the extremes of temperature, his digestive system cannot digest various raw foods, he is not strong enough to fight wild animals and also runs the risk of being eaten up by them if he not careful, and yet it is he who is the master of them all. All this was possible because he had this unique ability to overcome his limitations and turn them into his strengths.
As Dale Carnegie has said, "the most important things in life is not to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The really important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence; and it makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool”.
To be a winner we must know that nothing is impossible when handled with determination and will, our limitations can we are the masters of our situations and the makers of their outcomes. We shape our own destiny.
