Optimists and Pessimists
An optimist is someone who thinks positively about things and about the future. If you give an optimist half a glass of chocolate milkshake, she would most probably see the milkshake as almost full, or at least half full. Then you get people who are pessimists. A pessimist is someone who usually sees things negatively and doesn’t have much hope for the future. If you gave him the same half glass of chocolate milkshake, there’s a good chance he would say something like, “It’s almost empty!” Can you see the difference? Optimistic people choose to have positive thoughts about themselves, about life and about their future. Because of this they often look after their bodies better, have healthier minds and are more successful. On the other hand, a pessimist looks only at the negative things, and ends up feeling gloomy about the future, doesn’t believe in himself and sees only problems instead of possibilities. What would you like to be, an optimist or a pessimist? After all, the choice is yours.
