A bit of both helps one be negative enough to see the faults, vulnerabilities, problems, and positive enough to remain determined to solve them despite the odds. Balance is the key.

Optimism alone can make one lazy knowing the good is bound to happen, so one needs not to do much himself. Pessimism can make one hopeless of a situation and thus, he may not act because every action is a futile attempt to win a war one is destined to lose. .

Optimism is as useless and helpful as pessimism. Either of them alone does nothing. You need to opposites together from fruition. A man and a woman create a baby. A customer and a builder create a product. A hero and a villian create a story. .

Such complex changes when come from top bottom via policy must take every stakeholder involved to make it a success. It's not easy considering tradeoffs, and that's why culture change is so difficult. One or the other party benefits from the status quo and seeks to maintain it.

Newer IITs don't have a culture and thus they develop one. New IITs rarely face issues of Ragging since they didn't have "seniors" to adopt it from. But older institutes such as ISM or BHU face(d) a lot of challenges changing the older culture. People resist change. .

Changing culture is tough. Satya Nadella after taking up the role of CEO, first focussed on changing the culture of the company from top down. He tried things as weird as ice bucket challenge. Once culture develops it has high inertia. IITs are a great example. .
If the people are the way they are no leader can change them in one gen. They will rebel. Indira did invoke emergency. People did rebel.

Maths essentially gives many such mental models, as it relies on many abstractions itself. They seep into the language with time as adoption increases such as, point of reference, projection, percentages, etc. It goes beyong tangible things.

Everyone is moving in the right direction at the right pace (c). One may find himself to be slow in a desired dimension. But growth happens in unknown dimensions. One with growth mindset will grow regardless. Health, wealth, relationships, etc. are just dimensions of life. .

I use "vector" as a model to see many mundane life events. For instance, "growth" is multidimensional and thus if you only optimize for one axis, you may win it at the cost of others. But being an optimist, the "c" approach makes it better for me.
@DeGatchi I never got much world-changing out of pure math. But applied math changes how everything looks. Hamiltonians, optimization basins, Fourier transforms, fractals, statistical mechanics, stochastic dynamics, coupled oscillators, I see them everywhere as I walk through the woods.

This is quite simple to understand the tradeoff between space and time.
Calling c the "speed of light" completely misses the point. Rather, c is the "spacetime exchange rate": how many units of space you can exchange for one unit of time. In actuality, everything travels at the "speed of light", just not necessarily through space alone. (1/4)
