Right living is an art. Those who have learned the art can construct a successful life in this world. Those who are oblivious to it have nothing but failure in store. To put it briefly, this art can be described as ‘positive thinking; that is, keeping an open mind so that we can rise above the psychology of reaction or retaliation and plan objectively after arriving at rational conclusions. If positive thinking gives us the direction to use our intellectual capacity, negative thinking acts as a check upon developing that intellectual capacity. Those who tend towards negative thinking think and plan only under the influence of external situations, which may or may not be particularly good. Humans are social beings. We cannot survive by ourselves. We need each other to sustain our needs. In one way or another, we are all indispensable to each other. In such a situation, reacting negatively is never beneficial. Success will come only to those who respond positively, even negatively.
