OPTIMISM - PESSIMISM


Some people always look at the negative side. Who is pessimist? Pessimists

¨ are unhappy when they have no troubles to speak
¨ feel bad when they feel good, for fear they will feel worse when they feel better
¨ spend most of their life at complaint counters
¨ always turn out the lights to see how dark it is
¨ are always looking for cracks in the mirror of life
¨ stop sleeping in bed when they hear that more people die in bed than anywhere else
¨ cannot enjoy their health because they think they may be sick tomorrow
¨ not only expect the worst but make the worst of whatever happens
¨ don't see the doughnut, only the hole
¨ believe that the sun shines only to cast shadows
¨ forget their blessings and count their troubles
¨ know that hard work never hurts anyone but believe "why take a chance?"

Who is an optimist? It is well described by the following:

ü  Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
ü  Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
ü  Make all your friends feel there is something in them.
ü  Look at the sunny side of everything.
ü  Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best.
ü  Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
ü  Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
ü  Give everyone a smile.
ü  Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others.
ü  Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.*

The saddest words in life are:
¨ "It might have been."
¨ "I should have."
¨ "I could have."
¨ "I wish I had."
¨ "If only I had given a little extra."

Never leave till tomorrow, which you can do today.
