Choose Optimism 选择乐观 Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces，and each of us must choose which we want to shape our outlook and our expectations. There is enough good and bad in everyone's life-ample sorrow and happiness,sufficient joy and pain-to find a rational basis for either optimism or pessimism. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or curse.It's our decision: From which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in hope or down in despair? 乐观与悲观是两种强大的力量，我们每个人都必须在这两者之间做出选择，从而塑造我们对未来的展望和期待。每个人的生命中都有足够多的幸与不幸—数不清的哀伤和喜悦，欢欣与痛苦—给我们乐观或悲观的合理理由。我们可以选择哭或是笑，祝福或是诅咒。这是我们的决定:我们选择用什么样的眼光去看待生活?是昂首去寻找希望抑或垂头在绝望中逡巡。 An optimistic attitude is not a luxury;it's a necessity.The way you look at life will determine how you feel,how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people.Conversely,negative thoughts, attitudes,and expectations feed on themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy.Pessimism creates a dismal place where no one wants to live. 乐观的态度不是一种奢侈品;它是我们生活的必需品。你看待生活的方式将决定你的感受、你的表现，以及你与他人相处得如何。反过来，悲观的想法、态度和预期也会自成因果:它们是能自我实现的预言。悲观会制造出无人愿往的黑暗处所。 Optimism diverts our attention away from negativism and channels it into positive, constructive thinking. When you're an optimist, you're more concerned with problem-solving than with useless carping about issues. In fact, without optimist, issues as big and ongoing as poverty have no hope of solution. It takes a dreamer-someone with hopelessly optimistic ideas, great persistence, and unlimited confidence-to tackle a problem that big. It's your choice. 乐观精神使我们的注意力从消极的否定态度转向积极的、建设性的思考。如果你是乐观主义者，你会更关心如何解决问题，而不是毫无意义地怨天尤人。事实上，如果没有乐观向上的精神，像贫穷这样沉重且持续存在的问题是没有希望解决的。解决这样的问题需要一个梦想家—一个拥有九死不悔的乐观精神、矢志不渝的坚韧态度和无限信心的人。乐观还是悲观，在于你自己的选择。 |
