(This is a picture of a one-handed pitcher named Jim Abbott. He pitched in the major leagues for 10 years. In 1993 while pitching for the New York Yankees, Abbott threw a no-hitter. Imagine the possibilities…)
“Every negative situation contains the possiblity for something positive, an opportunity. It is how you look at it that matters. Your lack of resources can be an advantage, forcing you to be more inventive with the little that you have. Losing a battle can allow you to frame yourself as the sympathetic underdog. Do not let fears make you wait for a better moment or become conservative. If there are cirumstances you cannot control, make the best of them. It is the ultimate alchemy to transform all such negatives into advantages and power.”
