You might have read Norman Vincent Peale's "Power of positive thinking"
It is true the positive thinking can do wonders. It will do good to us in many aspects.
Nevertheless some people say that power of negative thinking should not be underestimated. In other words negative thinking too helps us in some aspects, say we will be extra careful and we can avoid some losses. what do you think?

Negative thinking (pessimism) and critical thinking (skepticism) are not the same thing.-
Yes I agree with you.

What is "positive" and what is "negative." It's like trying to define good and evil. I suppose it depends on one's values, one's world view. Gloomy and pessimistic thoughts are not necessarily negative. What matters is the use you put them to. Ultimately, what counts is our actions, not our thoughts. It's how we act that determines how we feel and our outlook on the world.-
thoughts, actions and end results. Yes, I think you are right.

I disagree with negative thinking. Negative thinking is cancerous. It only does harm and it spreads like a disease. I try to remove all sources of negative thinking out of my life.-
Yes, negative thoughts harm us mostly. But there may be some marginal benefits too.
