Thks for the interesting article . . . it makes a lot of sense. Forcing our mind on being +ve all the time is unrealistic and bound to bring misery and unhappiness.

Similarly, to achieve our investment objective I find it more important for me to focus on the -ve and the worst case scenario than to focus on how much should my target return be.
