Born Optimist

By Ramprasad Ramasamy

The author has been inspired by real-world stories and profound thoughts of leaders
of all ages. He is fascinated with the workings of the universe and the human
mind. There were instances where he felt that his progressive life was being pulled
down by the weight of his inhibiting thoughts. He realized that when the seeking
is aligned to a larger societal cause, inhibiting thoughts will gravitate towards a
liberated purposeful living. What started off as a self-improvement journey to break
the self-imposed restraints turned into a series of author’s reflections of successful
transformation short stories to inspire many. This book is an example of some
powerful thoughts on how positive minds have acted favourably in time of crisis.
The author wanted to reflect upon some profound thoughts and their impact on
carving out a better and brighter future.
