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.
