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!
