Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future and the success of something in particular.Being pessimistic,on the other hand,means being sad about the future and always thinking that something bad is going to happen.
Let's take the challenges in our everyday life as an example .
Faced with a challenge a pessimistic person may feel gloomy,distressed and even afraid of it.He considers himself powerless,and complains about it all day long,refusing even to have a try before giving it up in the end.An optimistic person,however,may adopt an entirely different approach.He may not reagrd the challenge as something bad instead he takes it as an excellent opportunity to display his abilities and talent.Pressure simply adds to his enthusiasm to realize his dream.Obviously,being optimistic and being pessimistic are two dirfferent attitudes towards life,which always mean the difference between failure and success.It is natural that we encounter challenges of one kind or another in our life.If we are pessimistic whenever we are confornted with challenges we are destined to have one failure to fail,ending up accomplishing nothing.But if we appoach the challenges in an optimistic way,we may go from victory to victory.

I think I am more likely to be pessimistic. I mean, I used to be. I think I developed more optimism as time went by. You learn to discover waiting around for things to change and not even trying makes life a lot harder. It really does make you happier when you're optimistic.

I am an optimistic person. My gf thinks i'm a little too optimistic. But I have found that when you think the worst is going to happen, you're usually wrong.

I think I am in the middle. But I am working on it. As much as possible I tyr to be as optimistic as possible. But I cannot be perfectly optimistic that's why I said I'm in the middle. I'm on my way there.
