how do you look at life's ups and downs? are you an optimist?

i've recently experienced getting rejected on an interview. though it was disappointing, i took it as an experience, as a friend said we should get used to the feeling of rejection. After all, we can't have everything our way and there's still a lot more choices. I'm not a complete optimist, sometimes i think of the negative 'what ifs' in certain situations of course i also think of the positive outcomes. but no matter what, i want to see the bright side of things, getting depressed over something and worrying every time won't help us with anything.

Quite ironic. Sometimes, I do feel helpless, but I need to be optimist and think positive so that luck will come. It may be hard to do but we have to. The downs are just trials to mod us to be better and stronger person. Besides, the Lord gives us something He knows we can overcome and surpass.

Hi, I would say that life is Up and DOWN and nobody will always in the UP side.I need to have an open-minded thinking. Talking about my life, I really have an "up" life in my chidhood as I no need to worry about anything...all are prepared by my parents and I was lucky to be their daughter. Only when I started to have my own family, I can feel that there is "DOWN" in my life. Slowly ,but I still can feel that kinda of movement. Since I am not working, I lose the power in earning money and whenever go for shopping, I will go for price comparison and kinda be more save in term of spending money. Life is getting tougher with the arrival of my son. Our living expenses is started to get more and more. I do believe it is part of my life and I have to accept the facts. Just pray hard that my life will start to go UP again soon..
