The perspective you bring

The perspective that you bring into a situation can make all the difference.

A shoe factory sends two marketing scouts to a region of Africa to study the prospects for expanding business. One sends back a telegram saying:
"SITUATION HOPELESS STOP NO ONE WEARS SHOES"
The other writes back triumphantly:
"GLORIOUS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY STOP THEY HAVE NO SHOES" *

It's all about perspective!
