OMG!! I did it!! I got 95 marks in my presentation today. I couldnt even imagined that I could do it well. Cath is very talented in public speaking so I thought I might be lost . I got the 2nd turn to presentate just now so it was kinda scary. Well well, the main topic from the teacher was " Choosing optimism as the principal of life". When she announced it last week I thought it was easy, but then omg it's so challenging! haha, but I was so happy when I knew that .
So, at last, my topic was : " Changing your personality from a pessimist to be an optimist, and your dream will come true ". So now I wanna post my presentation note hhehe, it doesnt mean that I wanna show off, but I myself feel that it's very useful for all of us, even me myself. So someday my note that I wrote might lost, so I can still read it from you Chloe haaha..
Changing your personality from a pessimist to be an optimist, and your dream will come true
have u ever heard a famous saying, "There's always a flicker of light in darkness and there's always a day after night? "
You might look at night and darkness,but there are people who look at night in anticipation for day...that's a difference in approach and that difference will affect your lives in a great way..
It is but natural that ppl with optimistic and hopeful approach are always happy and successful than their pessimistic counterparts.
Pessimism is disastrous. It ruins hope and possibilities. If someone is pessimistic, he doesn’t hope for a better future neither do something to achieve it. The obstacles along the way seem enormous, and he doubts his ability to overcome them. At the end, he will just stay where he is, without making any progress. People can waste years, even their whole lives, because of pessimism.
that is why there's a quote like this : "The opposite of a leader isn’t a follower. The opposite of a leader is a pessimist"
Pessimism is something I face every now and then, and I’m sure some of you too. So let’s fight it. Let’s overcome it so that we qualify as leaders in life.
So today I have 7 ways to overcome pessimism and be an optimist:
1. Find a cause you believe in
A cause from the depth of your heart has a burning flame that can overcome any pessimism. A superficial cause won’t last long, but a cause you believe in will give you the strength to overcome any obstacles. So find yours. Find a cause that matters to you, a cause you believe in.
2. Focus on the possibilities, not the impossibilities
People become pessimistic when they focus their mind on the impossibilities. All they see is the enormity of the challenges ahead. That way, their mind is overwhelmed by the difficulties and they can no longer see themselves as the winners.
So focus your mind instead on the possibilities. See how you are able to overcome the difficulties. See how you can go through all these and be victorious.
3. Read inspiring stories
To help you focus on the possibilities, you should read inspiring stories of the people who have made it before you. It will inspire you since you know that other people can do it despite the challenges they face. Just like you, they also faced enormous difficulties, but they persist and achieve their dream. So you can too.
Here are some figures you might want to read about for inspiration: the Wright brothers, Sir Edmund Hillary, Sir Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison, and Abraham Lincoln.
4. Be part of a team
It’s difficult to face everything alone. In fact, most people can never make it that way. You always need someone to lift you up when you fall. By having a team, their flame can ignite yours when you need it, and in turn, your flame can ignite theirs when they need it.
5. Connect to your cause
Sometimes we are too busy dealing with difficulties that we no longer remember why we do it in the first place. So you should have time to connect to your cause. Have some time to think about your cause and why it’s important. Let your cause inspire you and light up your fire once again. Let it reminds you of all the difference you will make if you go through all these.
6. Get rid of negative words
Nothing takes your optimism away faster than negative words. So get rid of them at all costs. Always see the positive side of things, and speak about hope and possibilities. I don’t know about you, but I believe that there is always positive side in everything we face. This doesn’t mean that you are denying the reality; you just look at it from a different angle.
7. Open your mind for unexpected ways
One reason people becomes pessimist is they see all the possible ways in their mind closed. Since they can no longer see any open door, they become pessimistic. But things don’t have to go the way you want it for you to succeed. The solution can come in unpredicted ways that never occur to you before.
So open your mind for such unexpectedness. Let new things happen and solve the problems. If you have this mindset, you will always have a reserve of optimism at hand.
you know,ups and downs are a part and parcel of life,if you accept happiness and joys with open hands, so you must be prepared to accept sadness and sorrows too..
When I wake up every morning, especially when I have burden in my heart, I will tell myself,
"Now, I didn't have a choice about this, but I have a million other choices I can make today. I can choose where I go. I can choose how I feel about where I go ... If I make those choices well, I'm going to be a happy person"
So be optimistic as your dreams are alive till the time you give them a breath of hope that someday thet can come true and that hope will encourage you to struggle till the end and it'll bring confidence that yes, your dream will come true!
