Do you see the glass as half-full rather than all empty? The two different answers to this question represent two different attitudes towards life -- optimistic attitude and pessimistic attitude.
你认为玻璃杯是半满的还是全空的？对这个问题两种不同的答案代表了对生活两种不同的态度——乐观态度和消极态度。
Optimism always leads to happiness, health and success while pessimism, by contrast, results in hopelessness, sickness and failure. That's because optimists and pessimists deal with the same challenges and disappointments in very different ways. When things go wrong,the pessimist tends to blame himself, while the optimist looks for loop holes. The optimist feels in control of his overall life. If things are going badly, he acts quickly, looking for solutions, forming a new plan of action, and seeking for advice. On the contrary, the pessimist yields to the arrangement of fate and moves slowly. He doesn't seek advice, since he assumes nothing can be done.
乐观常常会带来快乐，健康和成功；相反，消极会导致无助，疾病和失败。这是因为乐观主义者和消极主义者处理统一挑战和失望的方式截然不同。当事情出错的时候，消极主义者往往会责怪自己，而乐观主义者会寻找漏洞。乐观主义者会控制住生活全局。如果事情进展不顺利，他快速行动寻找解决方案，形成新的行动计划并寻求意见。相反，悲观主义者会屈服于命运的安排，行动缓慢。他不会寻求意见，因为他觉得什么也做不了。
Most people are a mix of optimism and pessimism. Optimism is important in all aspects of our lives. If you can change your mind from pessimism to optimism, you can change your life.
大部分人是乐观和悲观的混合体。乐观对我们生活的各个方面都很重要。如果你能够你能把悲观的想法变成乐观，你就可以改变你的生活。
