Take an honest look at your personality please.Are you a pessimist or an optimist?When the cloud of concern sweep into your life,do you look down and complain about them? or do you search for the silver lining?
A pessimist,generally speaking,is more realistic about life,while optimist tends to gloss over obstacles and minimize problems.
Once i was an optimist,life seems so colorful to me,and now I am a pessimist after going through many difficulties about life and work.
What kind of you?

hi crystalxdr...
nice topic!!!
i am an optimist! ^_^ think positively! SMILE ALWAYS..
its more logical to be positive than to be negative...cause negative thoughts breeds negative results and positive thoughts brings positive results..."what you sow you shall also reap...
so why stay negative...if you can change the situation by thinking positively. its more logical hehe

Hi,Monkee,It is so kind of your positive thoughts!I know positive people are more enjoying life,because difficulties are not too big deal to them. But why so many pessimist existing in the world,in my opinion,they must have experienced too much obstacles in their life,most of which were not solvable at all.Under this situation,how can they be thinking positive again? I don't mean pessimist lose hope,but at least they consider life is aweful when encounted problems.
Thank you for sharing your experience.Please keep smile.It's beautiful,not only makes people around you feel better,but do give them a hope.
Have a nice day.

I always think in a positive way, so I will consider myself as optimistic person!I had a lot of trials in life, that my family and I surpassed with our faith and perseverance. Those experiences taught me to be positive in life and I know and sure that with any test and trials, there are always answers and solutions once we will seek and work for it!

I'm both a pessimist and an optimist person. it depends upon on what I'm dealing with. If it is very crucial, I always tend to freak out and think negative things, that's when things are really bad but if situations are easy, or easy for me pass through, I always give myself encouragement. It's a crazy thing to be both pessimist and optimist person. But this is the way I am.

I am an optimist. I always look at the better and brighter side of things. I believe that if I surround myself with positive thoughts and positive people, then I am more likely to do positive things. It is inevitable that somehow certain negative situations and people come our way, but I don't really dwell on them. I tackle them as they come and try my very best to overcome them. I know that if I dwell on negative things and negative thoughts, I am stressed out and less productive. So, I keep happy thoughts and positive outlook in life. Enjoy life!
