Because they do try more, they tend to succeed more. It is just a pure math, I think. What are the chance of success if you try one time versus trying 100 times. Thus, you can say positive thinking people are successful people. I think everyone wants to be successful in their lives. So what are we waiting for? Let's all start on positive thinking.

For very ill patients, they may feel like others are thinking "if only she would be more positive and try harder, she would get better", as if it were that patient's fault for not improving, for not being good enough. That being said I think that avoiding pessimism is good for the mind and body, and we should keep in mind how to delicately apply this technique in order to harness its benefits while avoiding putting pressure on a patient. My sidenote aside, this was an incredible and moving article!
