Choice & Attitude

Last month I was busy applying for B Schools in US. While applying I worked very hard and was tensed about the work. Once I completed the applications I am very relaxed and not worried about the result. I figured I have nothing to loose. If I get through, it will be a great career, else, I still have a good career and a chance to apply again.

I have a friend who was also applying along with me. Both of us applied only to top few B Schools. Yesterday when we were chatting, she was worried about the result of admission. Her worry goes lik this, "If I get admission I will be separated from my spouse, except for weekends and if I don't get admission, I would be bored to death at home."

My Conclusion:
A positive thinker has two choices in life. To be happy with the Status Quo or to choose a better status that will enhance the happiness. His only issue is to put in hard-work into the choice.

A negative thinker has two choices too. To worry about the status quo or to move to an unknown status which will enhance the worry. And additionally his worry is how to choose.

Choosing to be a positive thinker is indirectly following Gita because one is not worried about the result, one just works hard.
