How to see opportunity

My dad always used to say why look at the negative that will make you feel miserable, find a positive it will always feel better...so a little story

.....about 2 marketing scouts who to go to Africa to look at the prospects of selling shoes. The first marketeer sends an e-mail back to HQ saying "It's hopeless, no one wears shoes".
The second marketeer sends an e-mail saying "Fantastic, you won't believe it what a fantastic opportunity this is....no one has any shoes !

When faced with a problem turn it round - look for the opportunity and encourage your team to do that as well. For every problem there needs to be a solution, for every problem there is an opportunity to shine, to deliver a solution, to move a little closer to that success.
