Optimism

Being happy is crucial in our life.We tend to think that things go wrong always if we are not happy whereas we always think that good things will happen when we are happy. Eventually what we think will become reality. Based on reports, people who are always happy live longer than those pessimists. Hence, I learnt the importance of being optimistic. Being optimistic means we always look at the good side of things or incidents. Meanwhile, Optimists never give up. When they face the tough situations and failures in life, they don't waste time to whine and cry out. Instead, they seek for solutions and solve the problem. Moreover, they learn lessons from the incidents and never repeat the same mistakes again. For example, a student scored low marks for a mid-term examination because he studied at the last minute. Nevertheless, He never gives up even though he failed in the mid-term examination. He did not whine about what happened. Instead, he learnt a lesson that studying at the last minute was not good. On the other hand, he looked forward and strove for the coming final test. Finally he did well in his final test and his overall marks were excellent.

Besides that, Optimists always committed themselves to success and work towards a good direction or aim. They always have hopes that they will achieve success. They don't be afraid of obstacles, whereas they think that they will get over them soon.

Other than that, Optimists always feel good about themselves, everything and everyone around them. There are obviously some differences between optimists and pessimists. For example, while a pessimist was waiting for a waiter to hand him a drink for a long time because the waiter was busy serving other customers. The pessimist felt angry. Whereas while an optimist was waiting for a waiter to hand him a drink for a long time because the waiter was busy serving other customers. The optimist felt happy to see the waiter was so hardworking in serving other customers. At the same time, he noticed that the waiter was standing so long while working. So, he was understanding and didn't mind to wait for a long time. Besides that, a pessimist tends to feel panic because he tends to predict something bad will happen. Whereas an optimist will feel confident that something good will happen. Therefore, they won't feel panic. As a result, we always see that optimists are more frequently achieve success in work and studies as compared to pessimists.

In conclusion, Being optimistic is crucial to help us achieve success in life. Based on scientific reports, being happy will help our immune system work better. Thus, we are less likely to be sick. On the other hand, being optimistic may make us feel good all the time and because of that, we can be healthy always. Besides that, when we feel good about people around us, we can interact with them better. Consequently, we make better friends and they could help us in future.
