The optimist expects it to change.
The leader adjust the sails.”
– John C Maxwell
My Pondering
What a wise pithy statement by Maxwell.
In a way, a different one, winners need to be all three:
1. Reality aware
2. Optimistic optimizer
3. Clear leader-shifting
The winner anticipates the wind changing so he quickly recognizes the headwind.

The winner, being an optimist with a positive mindset, knows it won’t be too hard for too long therefore maintains a steady confidence as hope floats.
The winner takes decisive action, clearly communicates with his crew, and they work together in unison to change the sails promptly.
