THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IMPOSSIBILITY THINKERS AND POSSIBILITY THINKERS

THE IMPOSSIBILITY THINKERS
The Impossibility Thinkers Are People Who Make Swift, Sweeping Passes Over A Proposed Idea, Scanning It With Shape Negative Eye, Looking Only For The Distasteful Aspects.
They Look For Reasons Why Something Won’t Work Instead Of Visualizing Ways In Which It Could Work. So They Say “No” To A Proposal, Never Giving The Idea A Fair Hearing.
Impossibility Thinkers Are People Who Immediately, Impulsively, Instinctively, And Impetuously React To Any Positive Suggestion With A Sweeping, Unstudied, Irresponsible Assortment Of Reason Why It Can’t Be Done, Or Why It Is A Bad Idea, Or How Someone Else Tried It And Failed ( And This Is Usually Their Clinching Argument) How Much It Will Cost!
Their Attitude Produces Doubt, Stimulate Fear, And Generate A Mental Climate Of Pessimism And Fatigue. They Are Worry Creators, Optimism Deflators, and Confidence Squelchers. The End Result?. Positive Ideas Buried, Dreams Smashed, And Project Torpedoed. 

THE POSSIBILITY THINKERS
The Possibility Thinkers Resemble The Hummingbird That Look For And Find Honey, Often In The Most Unlikely And Unthinkable Places.
The Possibility Thinkers Perceptively Probe Every Problem, Proposal, And Opportunity To Discover The Positive Aspects Present In Almost Every Human Situation.
They Are People – Just Like You – Who When Faced With A Mountain Do Not Quit. They Keep On Striving Until They Climb Over, Find A Pass Through, Tunnel Underneath Or Simply Stay And Turn Their Mountain Into A Gold Mine.
(Schuller, 1967)
