there are people who are optimistic yet unfortunate about most of the things they do.there are still negative thinkers yet do good. some are fortunate, some are not..or maybe their names were already posted to a thing called destiny.we are the one who control ourselves. so better be good.

Being positive is good but sometimes you have to think of the bad side and look for ways on how to prevent it. Sure we are in control of our lives by making choices but sometimes destiny or fate steps in. Creating contingencies is one sure way to do it. Weigh the pros and cons then act on what is right to produce great outcome.

Well I think that thinking positive is always very important, but it takes living through a very negative experience and struggling and getting out of the negative mindset you were in to become more than just a positive person. but getting stuck in negative thinking is never good. so most of the time think positive, or at least try! but negative thinking some of the time is just fine!
