Successful people always will be OPTIMISTIC. In other words the winners in life have a positive mental attitude.No successful person to be a negative person and no negative person to be successful.The basic of any achievement is developing optimism or positive mind set."Thinking good,Going for good ,Doing good and finally Getting good reward".It is important to have people(friends) with a positive mind around. (1)If you are negative you expect the reverse-to lose.If you are positive you expect to make it-win. (2) Not to let the past negative experiences to influece the future-a self fulfilling prophecy for bad ending.Make positive decisions from the past negative experiences-keep winning stand," Anything Possible".Always keep away "Pessimism", it prevents from getting things done. (3)Think-'Life is short,so act quickly before too late'.Prepare for the worst but hope for the best-the former makes sensible and the later makes an "OPTIMIST".
In most situations I'm pessimist because I can't be one of those people who are prepared for the best but they expect the worst.
I think it is way to look the life.. i believe that we need to adopt both optimism and passimism for different situations.. For any project if you are thinking only in optimistic way then you may loose some points that may harm in future. So there requires some sort of passimism some times. I feel so...
Being accutely British optimism disgusts me... life is not worth living when you have nothing to complain about which is why I have just bought a house on a council estate. Bliss: I'm going to have something to complain about every single day of my life.
