If you make a spontaneous survey somewhere on the street, asking to explain the meaning of the word "optimist", then, perhaps, most people will remember the "half full glass." Yes, such a person is even able to perceive the Leaning Tower of Pisa as one that rises, not falls. But still, let's talk more carefully about these people and try to understand that these are pink glasses that they don’t want to take off, or a life principle that gives strength to overcome any obstacles on the way to the goal.
You should not think that the optimist does not know the sorrows and problems, that he has everything going smoothly.
Just treating any failure as a lesson in which you can learn something, helps him get rid of self-doubt, gives strength and, most importantly, allows you not to lose faith in what can still be good.
An optimist is one who sees new opportunities in every difficulty, and a pessimist, on the contrary, expects difficulties in every opportunity.
Despite the fact that we all live in the same world, each of us paints it in our own way, adding colors depending on what is closer to him, easier. Is it easier to whine and complain about the injustice prevailing around - more gray and black? It’s easier, shaking oneself, to understand that this was another step towards victory - orange and yellow.
An optimist is a person who can see the true state of things from his life-affirming position. He does not soar in the clouds, wishing that the world itself would be rebuilt according to his fairy-tale fantasy, and indignant that this does not happen. An optimistic person will try to translate his desires into reality, perceiving the problems as a challenge that is thrown by fate. And that is precisely what will add enthusiasm to him where other people give up and give up.
An optimist is another proof of the materiality of our thoughts. He is looking forward to the good that is about to happen, and that is why it is happening. His unshakable faith in the laws of everything that is happening around him does not give him reason to be upset and homesick.
The very essence of an optimistic attitude towards the world lies in the ability to correctly place accents. Indeed, realizing that everything that happens is fixable or natural, it’s easier for you to own the situation, you are as if ready for it, but not like a pessimist: “Ah! Nothing will work out anyway! ” - but in another way: "Well, no luck, try differently, this time surely lucky."
An optimist is one who does not suffer from excessive modesty, attributing all his achievements to simple luck. Such a person understands the value of his success. He is able to recover quickly, and that is why optimists more often succeed in business. He is initially warm and friendly to everyone who surrounds him and, in principle, does not know how to quarrel, to accumulate hatred for anyone.
It’s just nice to be near such a person, because he is able to instill in you faith in a good outcome of any business or just support with the right word at the time of the blues.
But do not confuse the optimist with the "do not care"! Anyone who will gag at the moment of your sadness or give up his hand to fulfill his immediate duties, just belongs to this category. This is not an optimist! Definition the latter can be given this way: it is comfortable with a bright person, you want to be friends with him and you need to equal him.
