Journal 8

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill.

This quote is easy to understand, but it's really hard to do it. We can explain simply that when a person always feel sad and hopeless, everything around him is just nothing, no color, no happiness, just darkness, difficulties, and fears. However, if a person always look at everything with his optimistic eyes, everything around him will become colorful, bright, happiness, and he can do everything he want, catch opportunities in his life, and be successful.

It's really hard to say if the quote is right or wrong because it depends on characteristics and point views of each person. However, in my opinion, I just agree partly with the quote. As I said above, when people consider or think about something in optimistic way, they may see good points in it, and they feel they can do it, and catch their opportunity, yet difficulties in our life sometimes make us become pessimistic people. We cannot find where to go, what to do. So, not only our attitude decides our life, but difficult situations also affect our attitude. Besides, sometimes optimism may cause negative results in some way. For example, some people are too optimistic about everything, they tend to think everything is ok, it's not a big problem, and they can do it or solve it. So, they can get failures if they don't realize how important a problem is, and what difficulties they are facing.
