lately, im being a pessimist on a lot of things. like for example, i always think that im going to fail one subject of mine and cant get it out of my head. i always use to be an optimist before and see all things happening are according to God's will. i just try to think that he has a better purpose why he did this to me. do you guys think its okay to be a pessimist? because sometimes i think that being a pessimist makes me work harder so i wont achieve the negative feeling i had. or just be an optimist? so whatever happens, ill just think positive and never surrender.

I enjoy being an optimist. Seeing the best life can offer is so much more inspiring than looking at the downward side. If I were more of a pessimist, so many good things in life would be sure to pass me by.

It have its advantages and disadvantages but I prefer to be an optimistic person than to be pessimistic one. Work hard try harder and you will achieve your goals eventually. :-p

Hi. yanyanyow. I think that being an optimistic has its advantages and disadvantages. While you are trying your best to stay on top, something will always seem to pull you down as you are trying to stand firm on your ground. Being pessimistic never allows yourself to experience a positive feeling that you long to feel. Staying optimistic at all times will increase your faith so that the devil can't allow you to become pessimistic.

Require me to change my patterns for some prefabricated insubstantial and without principles. I will force the door to let my dreams and I will impose their thinking damage. I will throw the remains of my thinking on the media front to be trampled by all. And I do not know if I take this condition yet. An assumed condition of inferiority, but frustrating. A weak human condition, no opinions and no ideas. A condition of him who has nothing to prove and nothing to say. A condition of the loser. And I can not fight windmills. I can not throw in the inevitable with open arms. Any attempt to individuate is cut from the root. Any attempt to change a system that works perfectly for third parties can not be accepted. But I think let me wear this fight dirty, unfair and of which most likely will lose. I am looking for any remnant of optimism that may have left in me. Looking for any trace of dreams that I try to rev up. Looking for people who still believe ...
