My wife and I have always had different view of life. She is always optimistic, and basically happy with life as is, but lacks ambition. I, on the other hand, am always unhappy, thinking that "here and now" sucks, and it should be much better. I regularly strive to improve something, either life of myself or the work I do and usually succeed in it. That does make me a better person usually but definitely not the happier one.
Last week, think it was Thursday, I attended the conference and the first presentation was from Dr. V. S. He was presenting some ideas about Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery and was giving very clear overview of it. And then, talking about the how to perceive a particular situation he said: "When somebody ask me how is it going, I usually say, it is good, it is excellent but it can be better."
I am not an 18 year old person anymore, and it requires a strong argument to change my mind, let alone my attitude. It is good, he said, and we can be happy with "here and now" like my wife, like him, but that definitely does not mean that we cannot improve further, that it cannot be better.
