生活中有太多的不如意,有太多的悲观(unhappiness and sadness) 。面对人生的不顺利,每个人所作出来的反应是不一样的,这时候就出现了乐观人和悲观人(optimistic and pessimistic) 。
我时常告诉自己,要做一个乐观的人。要乐观的生活,要微笑的面对人生,无论发生什么,不要怕,不要愁,微笑的去面对(confront …with..),勇敢的去解决。有一句俗语就这么说道:“生活就像一面镜子,你对它笑,它会以微笑来回报你;你对它不满(frown at ),它也同样会回之。” Possible answersLife is filled with unhappiness and sadness. Everyone copes with challenges differently, which therefore separate us into two groups, optimistic and pessimistic.
I often tell myself to be positive, optimistic and always wear a smile. Whatever happens, don't back away, don't worry, confront problems with a smile and have faith in yourself that you can resolve them. A saying goes like this, " Life is a mirror. When you smile at it, it will smile back at you. If you frown at it, it will do the same to you." Write a funny story.
