Thinking (+/-)

Regular rumors, latest updates and new faces are hot topics of evening pantry visit. Today I was sitting with our test team members. One of new joinee in test team said "My parents always taught me to be positive, think positive. But now here in testing I have to think negatively to find all bugs". For a second we all liked his statement. I felt too good to learn another fantastic dialog. Just couple of days after that I read an article in Vijaya Karanataka which was something like 

While the optimists invented the airplanes, the pessimists invented the parachutes!Negative thinking is also necessary to make anything fool proof.Positive thinkers leave some holes in their plans while negative thinkers seal them.

It was like an avalanche in my unused brain and i started thinking (positively or negatively?) that negative thinking is much more required.  My thoughts get stimulated with many examples. Like breaks in vehicles are meant for negative scenarios. We carry water bottles for a journey with a negative thought that we wont get water on this planet while travelling where as earth is the only planet to have water. 

Soon I started feeling like everything we have here are actually because of negative thoughts. We build house to keep safe from sunlight, rain and other natural events. We have a big telecommunication system to spread news to be safe and to know others are safe. And Job security- we work hard in a negative thought of loosing job. All medicines, hospitals, military, aerospace, science and even holy books mention about hell . . ..
