Male 1: What keeps you so positive and optimistic in your entrepreneurial pursuits? Male 2: Yeah I think it's whether entrepreneurial pursuits or really any part of my life, I think that I have been through a few struggles when I was younger but I see no reason to add additional negativity or additional stress to a situation. I don’t went to see the positive value in that and I think that often people react to the way other people are around them and I tried to maintain a balance and a positive attitude so that they can feel comforted maybe or okay with the situations around them. I mean sometimes I see crisis right in front of me as well but it doesn’t mean that I'm going to go off the deep-end. It's not going to help anybody. A lot of the situations I'm in, I tried to sometimes on purpose and sometimes I'm forced into it, act as a leader or act as the motivator. And I think a positive attitude really helps even if you’re not the leader, even if you're just the lowest level of person on the team. A positive attitude can rally help the stress level of the group and trying to deliver on that really important thing.
