Your mindset determines how you relate with people, how you handle difficult situations, your understanding of your capacity as well as your view of your future. Those who have a healthy mindset are strong, determined and not easily cowered. But reverse is the case for those whose mindset is feeble; they are weak and get easily weakened, they have a very narrow view of life and are usually pessimistic. The tale of two salesmen A long time ago, a shoe-making company based in Europe, wanting to develop its market in Africa, sent two of its salesmen to the continent on a fact-finding mission. After a few weeks in Africa, the two of them returned to the head office to give a report of their trip. One of the salesmen told his company not to bother about going to Africa because no one in the whole place was wearing shoes; consequently, the prospect of selling shoes in the ...
