A positive person anticipates happiness, health and success, and believes he or she can overcome any obstacle and difficulty. Positive thinking is not a concept that everyone believes and follows. Some, consider it as nonsense, and scoff at people who follow it. However, there are growing numbers of people, who accept positive thinking as a fact, and believe in its effectiveness. The first step to enjoying success and a better life is to change your attitude. This means changing the way you see things, changing the way you interpret things, changing the way you deal with people. Be more open minded, look at the positive side of things, search and find the positive spin on things, look for the good in people instead of just focusing on the negative. Throw out all those negative preconceptions that you have about people, situations and events in your life. Take an attitude test of yours by your own observation. The next time you respond to a person or a situation check and see if you have a positive or a negative attitude. If it's a negative attitude you have to change it. This means you no longer pass judgment or think that you know everything. Instead, start considering all possibilities, giving people the benefit of the doubt and focusing on a positive outcome while being ready to learn something new and grow in different ways. By doing what I just outlined you give your subconscious mind a new set of instructions. You tell your subconscious that you're ready to see change unfold, that you're open to new possibilities, that you're willing to do what you can to improve your life and that you want more positive situations. Your subconscious mind responds to your new attitude by helping you improve your life. It will guide you to positive situations and people that will help you create the life you want. Good things happen to people with a positive attitude. There are two things that really define us our Attitude and Patience. ALL THE BEST << 2 >> | IBS QUEST | JANUARY, 2018 IBS Quest MISS WORLD 2017 : MANUSHI CHHILLAR India’s Manushi Chhillar today won the coveted Miss World 2017 crown at a grand event in China, bringing to an end the country’s dry spell of 17 years at the top pageant contest. The 20-year-old from Haryana, who is a medical student, edged out top five contestants from England, France, Kenya and Mexico. Chhillar was presented the crown by Stephanie Del Valle, the last year’s Miss World winner from Puerto Rico at the event in Sanya City Arena in China which was televised live globally. The first and the second runners-up were Miss England Stephanie Hill and Miss Mexico Andrea Meza. In the top five round, Chhillar was asked which profession according to her deserved the highest salary. “I think a mother deserves the highest respect and when you talk about salary it’s not always about cash but I feel it’s the love and respect that you give to someone. My mother has always been the biggest inspiration in my life. Chhillar is the sixth Indian to win the coveted crown, which was first won by Reita Faria back in 1966. Aishwarya Rai had bagged the title in 1994, followed by Diana Haydon in 1997, Yukta Mookhey in 1999 and Priyanka Chopra in 2000, the last for India.

Besides the technological advancements, the biggest change undoubtedly has been the emergence of terrorism as one of the biggest global threats. Terrorism has been insidiously affecting lives all over the world and has resulted in spoiling the world peace at an alarming rate. May it be a super power like United States of America or a developing country like India, terrorism continues to spread its roots with no concrete solution. It has not only debilitated national security but has also led countries into a situation of anarchy. There are a number of far reaching consequences of terrorism which must be understood clearly to know why nations are spending billions of dollars to root out terrorism from their land. First and foremost, any terror attack leads to change in foreign policies affecting relationship of a nation with either its neighbor or some of its trade partners. The feeling of distrust and fear between countries is indeed disappointing considering that none may be at fault. A classic example is that of India and its neighbouring country Pakistan which have time and again snapped trade ties after a terrorist attack and have not been able to come to an understanding to free some items from the restricted list, thereby blocking potential opportunities for mutual growth and better understanding. Terrorism disturbs peace and kills innocent citizens. Terrorists have ulterior motives for launching any such attacks. However, innocent civilians pay the price for it. With slow response and other pressing issues like environmental damage, sanitation, food security to deal with, the issue has apparently become an everlasting one. Terrorism was traditionally carried out for religious reasons. Although, it continues to be an important reason but it is not the only one. Politically motivated reasons are also being used for terrorist attacks. Religious strife is used to disturb peace and harmony between people of various religions and has often resulted in riots, changes in policy for people of specific religion or just plain hostility between communities. Terrorism is a global threat and even though countries have come to recognize it, they have to work harder in order to ensure world peace is achieved. In order to achieve world peace, countries must come together to counter the growing menace i.e terrorism and stop the violence, fear and blood shed.
