Stockdale Paradox - पिक्चर अभी बाकी है मेरे दोस्त...

In a business book by James C. Collins called Good to Great, Collins describes that "You must retain faith that you can prevail to greatness in the end, while retaining the discipline to confront the brutal facts of your current reality, whatever it might be". 

This finding is named after Admiral James Stockdale, winner of the Medal of Honor, who survived seven years in a Vietnam POW camp by hanging on to two contradictory beliefs: his life couldn't be worse at the moment, and his life would someday be better than ever. 

Witnessing this philosophy of duality, Collins described this as the "Stockdale Paradox".

Those who like Bollywood movie, might remember the dialogue from Om Shanti Om movie articulating the Law of attraction and Stockdale Paradox...

इतनी शिद्दत से मैंने तुम्हे पाने की  कोशिश  की  है ,
की  हर-ज़र्हरे ने तुमसे मिलाने की साज़िश की है ,
कहते है अगर  किसी  चीज़  को  दिल  से  चाहो तो,
पूरी कायनात उसे तुमसे मिलने की कोसेहेश में लग जाती है,
आप सब ने मुझे मेरी चाहत से  मिला दिया ,
आज इस बात की भी याकें हो गया की हमारे फिल्मो की तरहं
हुम्हारी  ज़िन्दगी में भी एंड तक सब कुछ ठीक ही हो जाता है
Happies ending और अगर ठीक  न  हो,
तो वोह the end नहीं पिक्चर अभी  बाकी है मेरे दोस्त...

"When a person is determined to believe something, the very absurdity of the doctrine confirms in their faith." -Letters of Junius in 1769  

What a great message..

Don't give up... Life couldn't be worse at the moment, and life would someday be better than ever...
