Staying Optimistic When You Fall Is The Key

What optimism can bring us during pitfalls is powerful.

Life is not a Nintendo game that we can simply estimate when and where we are going to fall. We don’t get a chance to achieve success in every moment of our lives. Therefore, the optimistic mentality is the basis of being successful, which is going to make us blissful and prepare us to attain a steady success.

Staying positive helps erase the depression that failures bring us. We won’t feel like nothing and will easily prepare ourselves to get rid of the shadow. If an experienced athlete broke his leg in a training accident, it will no longer allow him to continue his athletic career. But instead of spending the rest of his life laying dispiritedly on a bed, he still goes to the familiar sport court and enjoys seeing his mates put all of their effort into a career which will be brimming with the rest of their lives.

That’s the power of positivity; it can drag one out from an unbelievable depression.

Optimism during failures somehow gains friends for us too. The competition among people are fierce, but optimism gives us the chance to meet others. For example, a college student attends the Harvard Debate Session with a group of similar aged people that he has never met before. Although he lost the debate, he is so grateful and satisfied that he gets the chance to attend the conference and meet so many marvelous debaters.

Optimism prolongs one’s life. As the latest researches from anthropologists show, people who live long lives usually have positive mentalities. I don’t doubt the theory because my grand-grandpa, who was happy with what life gave him, lived for 98 years. In comparison to having a longer life to live, success is too subtle that barely no one is willing to do the exchange.

Success is just a part of life that we use to decorate ourselves. However, happiness and optimism are essential for life, which is the positive attitude that no one can live without. Never forget to take the attitude with us to own more decorations and make them even more beautiful.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
