Maintaining a positive attitude will take you farther in life than just being down in the dumps all the time.
Central Park in New York City serves as a meeting place for different kinds of people. An encounter between a birdwatcher and a pet owner who found themselves in the same place at the same time led to an incident that became a national news story. But despite all of the negative implications of yet another incident of racial profiling taking center stage in public discussion, there was an unexpected positive outcome. The bird watcher who was accused of being “threatening” faced no charges because video evidence showed the complaint had no merit. Subsequent to this ordeal, this Harvard educated birdwatcher has received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Personality from National Geographic for his show Extraordinary Birder.
