Optimism is a Matter of Choice
Hasan A. Yahya, Ph.D I received recently a message through my email. It was a message about optimism, about a person who is the kind of guy you love to hate. The message was not organized and full of editing and grammatical mistakes, So I decided to refresh the message and rewrite it and add some of my poetry related to the subject. You may see also, my style of writing my own books and articles. The subject itself has certain value in my life in theory and practice. It might be beneficial for all to have the spirit of optimism. The rebuilt message with additions and reformation reads: The person (let?s say john was his name) is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would as Dealing with Infidelity k him how he was doing, he would reply, ‘If I were any better, I would be twins!’ Two persons in one. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Optimistic John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, ‘I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you make it?’ He replied,’Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or in a bad mood, and quickly I choose to be in the first choice.’ Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose the second.
