Society is being affected by more serious issues than ever before. Negativity is a form of evil that we promote and increase on social media. It is true that there have been good and bad news since man has used reason. But, in this age, it is possible to communicate in an instant with friends and others from other cultures and spread good or evil.
Negative news and thoughts can become a part of daily life for many people. What number of people don't have a family member or friend who shares negative information? One time, I was talking to a young man with a great idea about starting a business. He said that he wasn't going to ask a bank for money to fund his project.

Negative thinking can lead us to constantly criticize the work of others. We disqualify them, attack their efforts, and believe that if they succeed, it is because they were fortunate or met someone who helped them get to where they are today.

Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon) used to say that if you don't want to be criticized, don't do it.
Sam Walton, an American businessman, says that high expectations are key to achieving success.
The previous sentence is about the mindset young entrepreneurs need to have. If you don’t believe in your idea no one will. If you don't believe you can do it right, congratulations.
