Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right
Everyone is right, because our thoughts shape us to be what we believe in. What differentiates winners from losers is what they think. While winners think they're capable of winning, losers think they are not, and that's what shapes everything about us in life. Our thoughts are powerful; they're capable of attracting what rests beneath them, painting a picture that makes your imagination right, thus making it seem as if you were in the know.

Our African parents have certain perspectives after a failed business. They assume it's impossible to succeed in that exact business all because they tried it and failed. By all means, they discourage anyone whom they see trying to venture into that same business. Their experience may have been terrible, but they fail to realize that their failure doesn't automatically mean someone else wouldn't succeed in it. Once this mindset has been created, the universe automatically makes it real, and they picture that to be the reality.
The funniest part of it all is that whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right, because you already set yourself for that which you think. If the universe then works with our thoughts, then why not think positively at all times? Because we are right with whatever our heart harbors, great inventions started with a thought and a desire that stayed persistent, and failure also started with a thought. No one ever built anything out of the blue; it started with a thought that eventually transformed into reality.
The negative right may make you feel like a seer until you realize the positive right was also possible but you spent years believing in the wrong thoughts. Everything in life revolves around our thoughts. It's left to us to decide, but whatever we end up believing, we are right.
