As is shown in the picture above, two men react in completely opposite ways when faced with the same event: A bottle fell off on the ground, and the wine inside spilt out.

正如图中所示，两人的反应完全相反的方式面对同一个事件：一个瓶子掉在了地上，而里面的酒洒了出来。

One is smiling, feeling glad that he still has the rest half of the wine while the other is sighing in great desperation saying that everything screwed up!

一个微笑，感觉很高兴，他还有剩下的酒一半，另杰出的绝望的叹息说："一切都搞砸了！

The cartoon tells us that being optimistic and being pessimistic are two different attitudes towards life.

这幅漫画告诉我们，乐观和悲观是对生活的不同态度。

Faced with a challenge, a pessimistic person may feel gloomy and distressed.

面对挑战，悲观的人可能会感到沮丧和苦恼。

He considers himself powerless, and complains about it all day long, refusing even to have a try before giving it up in the end.

他认为自己是无能为力的，并且整天抱怨，甚至拒绝在最后一次尝试之前就放弃了。

An optimistic person, however, may adopt an entirely different approach.

然而，一个乐观的人可能会采取完全不同的方法。

He may not regard the challenge as something that bad; instead, he takes it as an excellent opportunity to display his abilities and talent.

他可能不认为这是一个坏的东西，相反，他把它作为一个极好的机会来展示自己的能力和才华。

As an old saying goes, The way you perceive the world will determine your way to cope with it.

正如那句老话，"路上你感知世界将确定您的方式来应付它。

In my point of view, though it is natural that we encounter challenges of one kind or another in our life, we should be optimistic whenever we are confronted with challenges.

在我看来，这是很自然的，我们遇到的挑战一种或另一种，在我们的生活，我们应该乐观时，我们所面临的挑战。

If we are pessimistic, we are destined to fail, ending up accomplishing nothing.

如果我们是悲观的，我们注定要失败，最终一事无成。

But if we approach the challenges in an optimistic way, we may go from victory to victory.

但是，如果我们以乐观的方式接近挑战，我们可以从胜利走向胜利。
