Optimism and Success
In study after study, psychologists have determined that ‘optimism’ is the most important quality you can develop for personal and professional success and happiness. It seems that optimists have 3 special behaviours, all learned through practice and repetition.
1st, optimists look for the good in every situation. No matter what goes wrong, they always look for something good or beneficial. And not surprisingly they always find it.
2nd, optimists always seek the valuable lesson in every setback or difficulty.They believe that difficulties come not to obstruct but to instruct. They believe that each setback or obstacle contains a valuable lesson they can learn and grow from and they are determined to find it.
3rd, optimists always look for the solution to every problem. Instead of blaming or complaining when things go wrong, they become action orientated. They ask questions like, “What’s the solution? What can we do now? What’s the next step?”
Finally, people who are habitually optimistic, positive and upbeat think and talk continually about their goals. They think and talk bout the future and where they are going rather than the past and where they came from. They are always looking forward rather than backward. (Ref: TRACY B Eat that frog 2004)
To be more successful in your life, start thinking and being like an optimist now!

Success Follows The Incurable Optimist
The most powerful personality traits to develop in one’s quest for success are incurable optimism and integrity.
Optimism is defined as “the belief that good things will happen to you and that negative events are temporary setbacks to be overcome.” (-Mayo Clinic ). Integrity, as I would define it, is “doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason – despite any consequence.” When you combine those two qualities what you have is a person who seeks out the best outcome in every situation, while still being honest and forthright about the facts of situations as they exist. A person who exemplifies these two qualities will garner significant trust and respect from his or her clients, coworkers, managers, and subordinates – all of whom contribute toward helping that person achieve great success.
There is a distinct difference between an optimist and a pessimist:
An optimist sees challenges as temporary, able to be overcome, and as stepping stones that are leading them to a better solution. A pessimist sees challenges as permanent; they see them as massive stumbling blocks which make it impossible to move forward, thus signifying the end of that road. Finally there is the incurable optimist, which is that optimist that relentlessly pushes forward, time and time again, never letting trials keep them from believing in the good that lies up ahead. These are the best optimists of all.
A good example of an incurable optimist can be seen in a personal story that occurred recently: I have a teenage daughter who passionately loves basketball. She worked incredibly hard to make the varsity team of her high school junior year, only to tear her ACL in the second game of the season. It was devastating news, but she was determined to have the surgery and be vigilant with her physical therapy so she could be back on the court in time for her senior year to begin. She saw her injury as a temporary hurdle that hard work would help her to overcome. And it did. That is until a few days ago, when she stepped onto a basketball court for the first time seven months after surgery only to have her ACL re-tear on her first attempt drive to the basket. She immediately knew that her dreams of returning to basketball had come to an end as she will once again have to go in for surgery this week for a second ACL repair, just two weeks before her senior year begins. Once again, devastating news to accept, yet within hours of her injury she began talking about the fact that there must be other talents she is supposed to discover within herself that go beyond basketball. That exemplifies incurable optimism at its finest. She recognized the gravity of her injury, yet she saw it as a temporary challenge that would lead her to discover additional talents and opportunities ahead.
Without question, optimistic people are a lot more fun to be around. They are genuinely happier, healthier, more attractive people. The have an energetic sparkle that draws everyone to want to be around them. I call this the “Tigger factor.” If you think back to your childhood days of Winnie the Pooh and his friends Tigger and Eeyore – ask yourself who you would rather spend time around – Tigger or Eeyore? Clearly the answer is Tigger! After all, Tigger’s are wonderful things, plus they bounce and bounce and bounce and bounce…OK, you get the jist. Seriously, Tigger is cheerful and happy and fun. He is a party unto himself. Whereas Eeyore is depressed, grouchy, and just plain whiny, and there is nothing enjoyable in being around a whiny person. We are drawn to those people who display the Tigger factor because optimistic people make everything happier.
That optimism is of tremendous value for one seeking funding for their business. As an investor, I pay very close attention to the level of optimism of the entrepreneurs seeking an investment. First, I will have to spend time around that person if I invest in their company, and again, no one likes spending time around an Eeyore. Second, I need to believe that the entrepreneur I am investing in will be the type of person that can see a positive outcome for any difficulty they face. Without question there will be numerous trials ahead in their business, and I need that entrepreneur to use those trials as stepping stones to bigger and better outcomes, rather than letting them become roadblocks to their success.
It is important to point out that there is a huge difference between optimism and over-confidence. When someone is over-confident they tend to ignore the barriers all together, having an attitude of “that couldn’t happen to me.” Whereas when someone is optimistic they have an attitude of “It may happen to me, but if it does I will find a way to get through it, and I will make it even better in the end.” The attitude of the first person brings fear to the heart of an investor or an employer, while the attitude of the second gives a feeling of trust and comfort.
The ideal find for either an employer or an investor is coming across that unique person who has both an incurable optimism and the integrity to share all the facts of things as they exist. They present the best picture without over-embellishing, and they express a positive outlook without over-promising. They can be trusted, relied upon, and to top it off, they are pleasant and fun to be around. With all of that it is no wonder success is sure to follow them.
There may only be one Tigger in this world, but there is plenty of room for many more incurable optimists to join the ranks of fun, fun fun!

The Importance of Keeping Optimistic
保持樂觀的重要性
Honourable judges, ladies and gentlemen,
尊敬的評委、女士們、先生們：
Good afternoon! Today I would like to talk about the importance of keeping optimistic. When we encounter difficulties in life, we notice that some of us choose to bury their heads in the sand. Unfortunately, however, this attitude will do you no good, because if you will have no courage even to face them, how can you conquer them? Thus, be optimistic, ladies and gentlemen, as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times, just as Winston Churchill once said, “An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.”
下午好!今天我想談一談保持樂觀的重要性。 我們注意到，當(dāng)在生活中遇到困難時，我們中的有些人選擇逃避它們。但令人遺憾的是，這樣的態(tài)度對你沒有任何好處，因為如果你連面對它們的勇氣都沒有的話，你怎么去征服它們呢?因此，樂觀起來吧，女士們、先生們，因為它會帶給你信心，幫助你渡過難關(guān)。正如溫斯頓·丘吉爾所說，“樂觀者在每次災(zāi)難中都看到機(jī)遇;悲觀者在每次機(jī)遇中都看到災(zāi)難”。
Ladies and Gentlemen, keeping optimistic, you will be able to realize, in spite of some hardship, there's always hope waiting for you, which will lead you to the ultimate success. Historically as well as currently, there are too many optimists of this kind to enumerate. You see, Thomas Edison is optimistic; if not, the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate the whole world. Alfred Nobel is optimistic; if not, the explosives and the prestigious Nobel Prize would not have come into being. And Lance Armstrong is also optimistic; if not, the devil of cancer would have devoured his life and the world would not see a 5-time winner of the Tour De France.
女士們，先生們，困難是存在的，但如果你保持樂觀，你就會意識到永遠(yuǎn)有希望在等著你，它會把你領(lǐng)向最終的成功。不管是歷史上還是現(xiàn)實中，這樣的樂觀者總是不勝枚舉。你看，托馬斯·愛迪生是樂觀的，如果不是的話，他心中那希望的明燈就不能照亮整個世界;阿爾弗雷德·諾貝爾是樂觀的，如果不是的話，那炸藥和享有很高聲望的諾貝爾獎就不會誕生;蘭斯·阿姆斯特朗也是樂觀的，如果不是的話，那癌癥的病魔早已吞噬了他的生命，這個世界就會少了一位五屆環(huán)法自行車賽冠軍得主.
A rose may be beautiful, or maybe not; that depends on your attitude only, and so does success, so does life. Hindrances and difficulties do exist, but if you are optimistic, then they are only episodes on your long way to the throne of success; they are more bridges than obstacles! Now I prefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley's lines: “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” Thank you!
玫瑰花可能很美，也可能不美，這，僅僅取決于你的態(tài)度;而成功也如此，人生也如此。困難和阻礙的確存在，但是如果你很樂觀的話，那它們就僅僅是我們通向勝利之冠的漫長道路上的小插曲;與其說它們是障礙，不如說它們是橋梁!此刻，我想以偉大的英國詩人雪萊的一句詩來作為我的結(jié)尾：“冬天來了，春天還會遠(yuǎn)嗎?”謝謝!
