THE ADVANTAGES OF OPTIMISM

in #optimism7 years ago (edited)

Hello Fellow Steemians, this is another post from @optimistdehinde. Happy reading.

Optimists finish first in anything they do. What do I mean? They know they've already won even before they start anything. Even if they did not win in the real sense of it , they easily relates with this saying that ‘’ATTITUDE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FACT’’ and move on to the next thing.

Optimist sees hardship as a ‘’learning experience’’ and even on the most miserable days they always hold this believe that ‘’tomorrow will be better".

There are gains that come with been an incurable optimistic

SUPERIOR HEALTH
A study in Harvard University in 1999 by student, shows that those who were optimist at age 25 were significantly healthier at age 45 and 60. This is possible because at a younger age they seem to disengage themselves from anything that will bring worries and anxieties. Therefore, there can't be space for thing like hypertension and stress.

GREATER ACHIEVEMENT
It was observed that more optimistic individuals or teens creates more synergy and performed better than those that are pessimistic. Due to the nature of a pessimist, when is busy worrying himself with what is not working, which divert his attention from doing something new. The optimist is busy using every situation to his advantage either positive or negative. They see negative event as minor setbacks to be easily overcome and positive event as evidence of good thing to come.

PERSISTENCE
They don’t give up easily like the pessimist, and they are more likely to achieve success because of this attitude. Imagine someone going bankrupt at multiple times but refusing to accept the situation as the end. There is nothing wrong with falling down but the wrong thing is when you refuse to stand again after falling.
