This quote, “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty”, can encourage people to become an optimist. I totally agree with the saying.
Facing to the difficulty, different kinds of people have different ways to treat it. A pessimist often looks at bad aspects and has lots of stress. As a result, he cannot complete the difficulty very well, and he is also unhappy. Why does the pessimist learn from an optimist? The optimist has the same situation, and he can face to the difficulty happily and finish it very well.
I want to be an optimist, although sometimes I have a little bit pessimism. Now, I am trying to change myself. For example, if I have an important exam, I will summarize the main point of the exam, and arrange my plan. I will do some positive things rather than worry about the result before the exam.
In a word, a pessimist could be changed if he wants or has a big pressure.
I have read An's and Angelica's blogs.
That's a good point that you mention: Pessimism tends to lead to inactivity, while the optimist is active!
