Negative event affect us more than positive once (CANCIO, 2015). Because, our brains are higher attuned to negative news. For example, an old man visits his doctor to receive some lab test result and the doctor tells him "I have good news and bad news what would you like to hear first and the old man says, I want to hear the negative news first and then positive news. This example is proven by hundreds of scientist and they confirm our brains is negative bias. So that negative things is always keep in our mind, we never forget this but positive things just keeping our mind for very short period of time. According to researcher we never forget those things i.e. farewell, accident, bad parenting, financial losses. In case of a proposal, as a business leader, I always want to read a good and positive proposal, research and business news which is helpful for me. But our negative bias nature the news is always starting from sad and bad information. Our national daily always wrote oh its front face in trushili, yesterday 5 pm bus accident had happened and 5 people died, 15 are in the hospital. Similarly, we lost the match against India. So our colleague and staffs knowingly and unknowingly make similar mistakes. They starts from negative vibes and then make it positive. So that is not a good way of writing business proposal. According to umes sir business proposal or any writing starts from why, and then how and closed this by what. So this proposal gives complete message. The why, how and what is the popularly known as a golden circle and which was developed by Siman Sineck. According to Tugend (2016) "Some people do not have a more positive outlook, but almost everyone remembers negative things more strongly and in more detail”. For example, when I was kids my mother shared many stories but I have only remembered a terrifying and dangerous story.

Professor Nass (Nass, 2017)"The brain handle positive and negative information in the different hemisphere”. Negative emotion generally involves more things, and the information is proceeding more thoroughly than positive once. For example, when I was in class 9 my school principal punished me because I missed my homework in my home. The same year, we won the volleyball tournament and we got the first prize. But when I recall my childhood, the punishment first comes to my mind the only comes other kinds of stuff. Psychology professor Baumeister (1996) tells that "Bad is stronger than good” As the article of him "Bad emotion, bad parenting, and bad feedback have more impact than good one, bad impression and bad stereotypes are quicker to form more resistant to disconfirmation than good once. For example, the upset felt losing money is always greater than the happiness felt after gaining the same sum (Kahneman, 1983). As a professor (Baumeister, 1996) noted in his study "Many good events can overcome the psychological effects of a bad one. In fact, the authors quote a ratio of five good for every one bad.
