The way we walk is called the path, through which we go
forward to gather new experiences. The way we think is called the mentality.
There are two types of mentality exist, positive and negative.
The positive mentality refers to the attitude that is ready to
accept into the mind thoughts, words, images and feelings that contribute to
growth, success, and satisfactory outcome. It is a mental attitude that expects
good and favorable results. Such thoughts supposed to anyone to think
positively about himself or other people besides him. The positive thinkers
always look for the solution of problems arise beside them, don’t bring the bad
results at that instant when they face any unwanted or new context.
Alternatively, negative thinking is a mental attitude of
anticipating the worst possible outcomes on situations, events, and circumstances.
It is the ability of the mind to produce thoughts that are not deemed favorable
to what the person wants. Whenever a challenge arises, a person with negative
thinking pre-empts a negative outcome before it has even occurred or being
acted upon. Pessimism is synonymous to negative thinking. The act of pessimism
is also a state of mind that lets the individual view life in a negative
manner. A negative mentality is referred to the state of someone’s mind that is
not ready to welcome the new situation, don’t want to get challenged or always
arise frustration when facing something unusual.
The positive or negative thinking also get struck suddenly
on a photo or word come on someone’s sight. The matter is going to be focused
here about the generation of positive or negative thinking in a person’s mind
when he/she see a photo or word on any social media or in practical from the context he/she leading.
Every person who lives at their home or out of home for the
purpose of job, study, living causes and in case of globalization. Now a day’s thousands
of news portal are publishing millions of news around our social networks every
day. Our online friends throughout our network sharing their thoughts from
their survival about from the next door to the thousands of miles away with
different words or hazardous images. So we have to face such a new scenario every
day. All the information we get from several sources is not clear to us. The famous
southeastern Asian Literature Novel prize owner Rabindranath Tagore said: “every squire mile of distance indicates minimum a word of a change in
the culture of the people”. So the friends we get in real life
and online are absolutely more than that distance hence every day we have to
face different culture and different types of people with different types of
thinking. Different kinds of words and image come in touch with our eye and mind
that takes a bit time to make us think that what is that! At that time the
personality of a person reveals that either is positive or negative.
When a man first sees an image an inner imagination
automatically creates in his mind about the image. Let about the picture
of a half-broken ship! At first sight, someone who never troubled through a
ship in the ocean will think that alas!! The ship must have broken with any
disorder of ocean or any wrong step of captain. I should never trouble with the ship in the future! At the same time, another group
of people will think that oh my god! How beautiful the picture is, the artist
is really brilliant and the picture has drawn with real thoughts. But the
hidden information is that the picture was really an art piece where the
artist tried to unveil the real scene of the ship accident happen. That may be about the Titanic!!
Hence what we get from this example? There are double
meaning to two different types of people, one group be scared at their first
look and another group thinks about the beauty and the skill of the artist! So, there
we get find the positive and negative mentality people who take the context
either in a soluble way neither in a scared way.
Let’s see what happened in the case of words we hear or see on
online, guess a friend of you started to say in front all of you with the word,
Adolf Hitler………………...at that one of your Jewish friends shouted with slang on Hitler with anger before the speaker ended his sentence. But maybe the
context was different, coz later your speaker friend cleared that he wanted to
talk about the skill of a man who comes from Austria to Deutschland and had become
the superpower of the attacking power army of world war 2. All the way the Hitler
passed was not as smooth which can be the inspiration who want to rise from the
worst family condition!
There is the difference between how you are taking any word or image
at your first sight either positively or negatively.
Sometimes it is related to the act or react. When someone
faces an act of others, most of the time they come reply with react. This indicates
the mental stability of a person. The person who is stable in mentality, at
first thinks what the act he is handling by others to him. The act he is facing
maybe good or bad, either intentionally or unintentionally. If someone
intentionally does a bad act in front of you and you also reply with the react,
then there exists not any individual personality of you. Because you just acted
like the doll against the intentional act of others and that person wanted to
make you angry and wanted you to do according to his act. If someone does so,
then it can easily determine that the man who reacted with others act does not
hold any personal ideology.
But, if you don’t react instantly against others act and
take time to think that what he wanted and what you should do from your
ideology and the form the angel of positive mentality. Then, your any step will
not consider as react. That also will be the act.
An example can be illustrated, let a paperboy supply you
with the daily paper. And somehow the paperboy is angry on you and wanted to
agitate you with anyhow. Once a day you were walking with your friend near to your
house and the paperboy through the paper without stopping the cycle and
without showing any honor. And you stayed silent, grasps the paper and put it
in your post box to take home after a walk and continue walking with your friend.
Your friend asked you that “why you didn’t say anything instead of keeping
silent to the paperboy?”. At that time, you can reply your friend that, “I didn’t
want to react to the behave of the paperboy, if I would react with a slang the
paperboy maybe could win over me and become successful to make me angry against my
good behave”. This is the point!! Where an act or react differ.
So, my ideology is to never react on a context or others
behave, just act what you have to do instead of being angry. I tried this many
times and from several months, put a note in front of my reading table with a quotation
that, “Never react, always try to perform the best Act”.
