“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
Sir Winston Churchill

My brother sent me that quote and I think it sums up the entrepreneurial spirit quite well.  What separates risk-takers from risk-averse folks?  That sentence. 

Throughout my 29 years on planet earth, there has always been one thing or another that has presented an obstacle or challenge.

Nowadays, with the business going well and life being fine, I am sure there will be something else tomorrow, or the day after that might pop up, but that too shall pass.

I think when I made the decision to start a company, it was because I always saw the silver lining in things, always saw the glass as being half-full and was fortunate for that glass to even exist, let alone the contents thereof.  I was also working with folks who might not have been so upbeat or positive. 

Indeed “a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
