Leila Mulla: Optimism has made some of history’s greatest men successful

From Leila Mulla

Leila Mulla believes that positive thinking and optimism will yield personal developments, emotional growth, and professional excellence. Inspiring people to do well in their craft and helping bring out their best assets through positive reinforcement will make the world a better and happier place to live in.



History has produced ethicists and philosophers who aimed at doing just that - making the world a better place - by accentuating positive thoughts and burying the negative ones. These philosophers have succeeded in their own personal battles and achieved the kind of life they had been longing for through hard work, patience, optimism, and faith to the Supreme Being. Like Leila Mulla, these people made their lives a vessel of pure hope and love, and not of pessimism. These philosophers include the following:




Xun Zi (ca. 312–230 BC) was a Chinese Confucian philosopher who had an important impact and contribution to one of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Xun Zi believed that man could become ‘eternally good’ through education and ritual. He also considered that ethical norms had been created to rectify mankind.



Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948) was a political and ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement. His philosophy, anchored on the principle of ‘total nonviolence,’ has led him to inspire other movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

Thomas Berry, C.P. (1914–2009) was a Catholic priest, cultural historian, and eco-theologian. An advocate of “eco-spirituality,” Berry is famous for his deep understanding that history is an inspiration that will guide people to do better in their personal pursuits.
