Do you see the glass as half-full rather than hall empty? The two different answers to the question represent two different attitudes towards life -- optimistic attitude and pessimistic attitude.

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 oval 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.

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.

你看到的杯子是半滿(mǎn)而不是半空的？這個(gè)問(wèn)題的不同回答代表了兩種不同的生活態(tài)度——樂(lè)觀(guān)態(tài)度和悲觀(guān)的態(tài)度。

樂(lè)觀(guān)主義者總是帶來(lái)幸福、健康和成功，而悲觀(guān)，相反導(dǎo)致絕望、疾病和失敗。這是因?yàn)闃?lè)觀(guān)者和悲觀(guān)主義者在應(yīng)對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)和失望的方式非常不同。當(dāng)犯錯(cuò)誤時(shí) 悲觀(guān)主義者傾向于責(zé)備他自己，而樂(lè)觀(guān)主義者尋找漏洞。樂(lè)觀(guān)主義者認(rèn)為在他的橢圓形的人生。如果事情不順利，他立刻做出反應(yīng)，尋找解決辦法，制定新的行動(dòng)計(jì)劃，并尋求建議。相反，悲觀(guān)主義者屈服于命運(yùn)的安排，慢慢地改變。他并不尋求建議，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為沒(méi)有什么可以做。

大多數(shù)人都是樂(lè)觀(guān)主義和悲觀(guān)主義。樂(lè)觀(guān)在我們生活的各個(gè)方面都是很重要的。如果你可以從悲觀(guān)到樂(lè)觀(guān)改變你的心態(tài)，那么你可以改變你的生活。
