cause and effect

Optimism is an important trait for a fulfilling life. Firstly, optimism makes people stay positive. Every coin has two sides; people who are optimistic will probably focus more on the bright sight of the things. For instance, when having half a cup of wine, they will rejoice at enjoying the left half cup of wine, rather than regret about the left half a cup of wine. Secondly, optimistic people are more confident and brave. Instead of being scared by challenges and allowing themselves to escape, they are more likely to grasp opportunities, and try their best to fulfill their curiosities and ambitions. On one hand, they can accumulate experience during the process, which may make them specialized on certain fields. On the other hand, during this period, they may exploit their potential and live a different life. Thirdly, optimism makes people resilient. Facing a loss, they are not likely to stand still and cry over the spilt milk for a long time. Just as Tagore said,’ if you shed tears when you miss the sun, you will also miss the stars’. Optimistic people are more likely to recover from the sorrow or depression soon, and continue their life. Being stuck by obstacles, they will probably apply self-motivation to explore another way, instead of giving up. Staying positive, being confident and resilient to the changes, optimistic people live a fulfilling life in this way.
