Lesson 2 Read and Think
Optimism and Pessimism
Are you an optimist or a pessimist Optimists are always hopeful and positive. Pessimists always expect the worst and see the negative side of things. The optimist says, “The glass is half-full.” The pessimist says, “The glass is half-empty.”
Dr. Seligman is a psychologist whose studies show that optimists are healthier than pessimists. Pessimists suffer from depression more often than optimists do. There were a group of men who had heart attacks. After eight years, most of the optimistic men were still alive, while most of the pessimistic men had died from another heart attack.
Dr. Seligman also says that optimists are more successful. Athletes, politicians, and businessmen who have optimistic views of the world tend to succeed.
Here’s the good news: Everyone can learn to be more optimistic. The main way is to change the way you talk to yourself. When something bad happens to pessimists, they believe it will affect them their whole lives. When something bad happens to optimists, they see that it is just one event. They also believe that they can correct the problem, so it won’t happen in the future. Here’s an example:
An optimist and a pessimist take a match test. They are both good students, but both of them fail this test. The pessimist thinks, “I’m probably going to fail every test. I’m never going to learn math. It’s too difficult for me. Nobody will like me because I’m a terrible student.” The optimist thinks, “It was only one test. I’m a smart student. I know I can do much better next time.”
Be kinder to yourself. Be more hopeful. Always see the glass as half-full!
