Carmine Gallo’s chapter on optimism
in his book Fire Them Up!
starts with this quote from Robert Noyce,
the co-founder of Intel and
co-inventor of the computer chip.
“Optimism is an essential ingredient of innovation.
How else can the individual welcome change over security,
adventure over staying in safe places?”
Yes, some people are naturally optimistic
but even those people need help.
Some of Carmine’s tips to stay optimistic?
Build on your strengths.
Radiate optimism.
Speak highly of yourself,
especially when talking to yourself.
Surround yourself with builders, not detractors.
And
Create magnificient obsessions.
Fire Them Up! is a worth the buy
based on this chapter alone.
