From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there are two people standing in front of a bottle. When looking at the bottle, which is lying on the ground with half of water inside, the man on the left side thinks that all is gone and seems fairly depressed. On the contrary, influenced by the thought that fortunately,there still remains some, the man on the right side appears to be relaxed and wants to pick the bottle up. This drawing is attempting to convey amessage that, when confronted with the same problems, some tend to be pessimistic while others are optimistic. The former focus their attention on the risks,dangers or impossibilities of things. Whereas the latter normally concentrate on the hopes, opportunities or possibilities of things. These two markedly opposite attitudes usually lead to contrary results. Those who are pessimistic are always haunted by failures and frustrations. However, optimistic people are more likely to have a good mood, establish a harmonious relationships with the people around and achieve success. From my perspective, the impact of a positive attitude on our life can never be overlooked, especially when we are faced with problems or challenges. Life is by no means perfect since difficulties are inevitable, but I am convinced that life is 10 percent wha thappens but 90 percent how we react to it. A man with optimism can be destroyed, but notdefeated. Mark Twain also once said.(246 words) |
