Being Uptimistic when the Things are diitiuult
Yes, it is possible to look on the bright side even in Chaos
J
“Qptimism is thefaith that [saris to

L hope amfcoificfence. ”—He[en Keffer
Sometimes, it's hard to be happy
when you think about what's going on
around you. It's harder still when the
people in close proximity constantly
complain about different problems they
are facing and paint a bleak world. But,
does that mean that you should also join
ranks with the pessimists?
No, more difficult the time, more are
the reasons to look on the bright side as
much as possible. Choosing to be
optimistic offers surprising benefits. A
study from the University of Pittsburgh
(US) concluded that people who had an
optimistic outlook had a 30% lower risk
of heart disease. Research published in
the Canadian Medical Association
journa/found that optimists are less likely
to experience disabilities as they get
older and end up living longer than
pessimists.
OPTIMISM IS A CHOICE
If you think you're a natural pessimist
and there’s no way you can turn your
mindset around, think again. A research
published in the journal of Behavior
Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry
compared two groups of people to test
their thinking patterns.
The first group completed a 5-minute
exercise that involved thinking positive
thoughts about their future, while the
second group just went about their daily
lives without making any effort to think
optimistically. The first group significantly increased their optimism over the
two-week period, with many of them
feeling more optimistic afterjust one day.
If you wish to become a more
optimistic person—despite the negativity
surrounding you—then you have to take
measures to think positively and spread
that optimistic outlook to those around
you. It is immensely beneficial.
CHANGE YOUR THINKING
You always have choices in your life.
You can spend the day cleaning, reading
or spend the whole day sleeping. You can
go out to dinner with friends or cook at
home. You can have coffee with your
friends or you can sit together and talk
aboutold days.
And, finally, you can deciole to be
positive or you can just go on living like
you are. Being an optimistic person in a
negative world begins with the decision
to be positive and choosing to live that
life every single day.
AVOID NEGATIVITY, ALWAYS
You can refer to them as ’whiners’ or
‘toxic’, buttruth is pessimists can suckthe
positive energy out of the people around.
These people think the world revolves
around them, and they often lack any
sense ofempathyforothers.
|t’s important to establish healthy
boundaries with people who chronically
choose to stay stuck in their own misery
and think negatively. That may mean
having to say things to a friend like, ”|
notice every time I offer you an idea
about how you could make situation
better, you insist nothing will work. I am
not sure I'm ableto help.”
It may also mean distancing yourself a
bit from someone who spreads negativity
or often predicts about the end of the
world. Limit meolia intake. Watching too
many tragic stories in news or consuming
too much political news on social media
can decrease your ability to maintain a
’glass halffull’ outlook. Negativity breeds
negativity and kills hope.

IF
IMAGINE A POSITIVE FUTURE
Writing down ideas of an optimistic
future can truly make a difference. Here's
what to do: Spend 20 minutes on four
consecutive days on writing down what
you want to happen tomorrow, next
week, next month and next year—dream
big. Consider a serious challenge you
have in your life right now and think
about possible positive outcomes.
PRACTICE GRATITU DE
Thinking about all the things you have
to be grateful for, from warm sunshine to
clean water, can give you an instant
AVOID NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
Yes, life is never smooth. Some bad
things might always happen. Ignoring
reality never help. Being realistic could
be the key to doing your best. Being
optimistic does not mean being blind. If
you're excessively positive about any
situation and not adequately prepared,
you might face an unpleasant outcome.
Over confidence is not optimism.
But, if you have an exaggeratedly
negative outlook, you might sabotage
your chances of ever being successful.
Thinking, "No, this is not going to work.
It's goingto fail.” lfyou think like this, you
are already defeated. This lack of confidence may be the reason of yourfailure.
A healthy outlook would be to remind
yourself that all you can do is your best
and you'll be OK, regardless of outcome.
Being optimistic helps you believe that

Unlike every year this year's celebration scenario of Viswakarma Puja was bit
different because of Covid-19. SOP and
all the restrictions imposed by the Govt.
of India had to be followed. This day was
organised in our workshop with the same
passion and fidelity as the last year, but
with restrictions. Following the tradition,
the picture of Lord Viswakarma was
decorated with tilak and flowers. The
worship began with reciting of many
The pandemic may have confined
people of India to their homes but it
couldn't dampen their patriotic spirit and
pride towards the Nation. Independence
Day in itself sends a message of positivity
to all of us. In this difficult time, we have
to keep ourselves motivated and remain
cautious and positive.
Gumla Polytechnic kept this spirits up
and celebrated 74th Independence Day
with grandeur, gaiety and enthusiasm,
befitting the occasion. Possible precautions were followed including all Covid19 guidelines issued by the government.
The ceremony began at 9.1 5 am. The
Tricolour was unfurled, it was saluted
and we all sang the National Anthem.
The flag hoisting was followed by
addresses by Principal Dr. Shiba Narayan
Sahu, Vice Principal Er. Surendra Prasad,
Admin. Head Ajeet Shukla and other
faculty members. All spoke about the
significance of the historic day and paid
tribute to Covid-19 warriors.
The day is important for us as Gumla
Polytechnic completes a year of its
existence. Itwas ourfirst birthday.
At the end of the ceremony, an oath of
national integration and unity was taken,
sweets were distributed and greetings
exchanged. We deeply missed vibrant
presence of our dear students. The day
reminds us that freedom is sacred and we
all must do everything to ensure that it's
not endangered in any way.

ARE REMEIVABLE DRIVES SAFE?
It's difficult to do away with a USB drives these days. Sometimes these are the
easiest way to bring a large file to move around. However, this convenient tool
can be a security risk too. As per a recent USB Threat Report report from
Honeywell, the severity of threats detected to operational technology (OT)
systems has risen significantly during last 12-months. The number of threats
specifically targeting OT systems nearly doubled from 16% to 28%. The number
of threats capable of causing a loss of view or other major disruption have more
than doubled, from 26% to 59%.
USB removable media is often a necessity, and because ofthat it's security risk
too is becoming increasingly high. Attackers can use USB drives to infect other
computers with malware that can detect when the USB drive is plugged into a
computer. The malware then downloads malicious code onto the drive. When the
USB drive is plugged into another computer, the malware infects that computer.
Many organizations have policies in place about the use of removable media, but
USB is now so ubiquitous that devices will find their way into all kind of environment. A cybersecurity expert cautions, "At a minimum, removable media should
be scanned for malware."
