No wonder Steve jobs said — “those that believe they can change the world are the ones who do” … those are the ‘hopeless optimists’!
In this article, I explore groundbreaking research conducted by the National Science Foundation in the USA, shedding light on a fascinating paradox of the human mind and discuss how leaders defy these stereotypes.
