If we have good results, then we will develop a positive orientation to it, however, if we obtain bad results they will also impact our perception and depending on our resilience we could develop a pessimist or negative orientation about our decision making. The amount of success we obtain is related to the confidence we have, as well as the drive or motivation we have to follow strategies to achieve our goals.
