In the interest of crisis management...

No matter what, people will talk negative because the mind-sets that are widely held are all gloomy. They'll sit there pretending to be ambassadors of God on earth, and just by looking, they can tell who will accomplish what and who’ll amount to nothing, but that’s before they’re proven wrong.

I did a little research and I saw that Socrates was called "an immoral corrupter of youth," but who's now drawing reference from his wisdom to motivate the youth? According to wikipedia.org, and about adding voice to motion pictures, someone said: “who the hell wants to hear actors talk?" Now that’s nonsense; who the hell wants to watch mute actors, because even porn is dull without the oh-oh-ah.

Someone said: "X-rays will prove to be a hoax." Another one said: "Television won't last because people will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night." Someone in 1977 said: "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home." An earlier British Post Office engineer said: "The Americans have need of the telephone, but we (meaning British) do not. We have plenty of messenger boys."

A Professor of Strategy once said: "Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value" - strategic indeed! Someone was advised not to invest in the Ford Motor Company because: "The horse is here to stay but the automobile is only a novelty - a fad." In fact the automobile was said to have reached the limit of its development in 1909. I guess they never saw Lamborghini's newest super-cars coming. 

Someone even said: "Everything that can be invented has been invented." Now imagine your life today if everyone had listened to the idea that inventions have long since reached their ceiling and there’s no hope for future improvements.

So tell me, what makes you so special that people aren’t going to deny, oppose, refuse, or be sceptical and contemptuous about everything you seek to attain? Can’t you see that for as long as you’re trying, people will see nothing but gloom and doom until bloom or boom comes along. They’ll see nothing but problems until you offer solutions and the outcome of everything you’re looking for will be forecasted detrimental until proven beneficial. 

You’ll be judged and placed on the wrong side until you demonstrate yourself above doubt. They’re so myopic that every innovation that is of no immediate benefit to them is seen as a waste of time. Some people even call the articles I do on here a waste of time, but what a useful waste of time, because even if no one reads them, every single article I write improves my ability to write. 

So in the interest of crisis management, don’t let misguided judgements and assumptions dictate your actions and priorities. Know that you will never do or achieve anything great without frustration along the way and without an iota of pessimism from people around you, and if your path is off these two hooks, then my friend you should be afraid.
