We all have role models or people we admire. Usually these are successful people who have achieved fame and are leaders in their field; whether in business, politics, entertainment or sports.
Many have been blessed with a talent or intellect, but others are just ‘normal people’ who have worked hard for their success. So what made them succeed where others have not? Could having a positive attitude be the reason?
Often people underestimate the power of positive thinking and the importance of having a positive attitude. However simply reading an inspirational quote or thinking positive thoughts can have a profound effect.
