optimist 与optimism

英语翻译
Whether you are an optimist or a pessimist has a lot to do with genes.But the way you are raised and the effort you yourself put into building your levels of optimism also make a difference.Sandy recommends that you "act first and the right feelings will follow".
"People can learn to be more optimistic by acting as if they were more optimistic," wrote Sandy in her book,Breaking Murphy's Law.She suggested this would stop one from giving up after every single little failure."You might succeed more than you expected," she wrote.
Focus on the things that you can control instead of worrying about possible failures.Try to see the good aspects in every situation; even if you are just mopping the floor,take time to stand back and admire how shiny and clean the floor looks when you are done.Hang around with optimistic and cheerful people,and they will help you see the brighter side of life.

Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply "yes" to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic,cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful at
work and in love.
But you may be misguided because things don't turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example,you may fail to land a new job,another chance will come around soon), Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your face. That's bitter reality.
Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists (悲观者）have suspected all along. It's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, "What's interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation's outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better. ”
So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don't put all your eggs in one basket," and “ Don't count your chickens until they hatch. “ To have a confident and optimistic approach to life's problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien ,the American comedian says, ”Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.“
There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don't feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.
