A young painter, penniless, went into a luxurious restaurant and ordered dozens of oysters, hoping to find a pearl in the oyster shell to pay the bill.
Maybe you will find it funny, but we also have to admit that people who can live a free and easy life will have a happier and more fulfilling life, because such people don't know what "sadness" means.
A wise man once said: "People who are naturally optimistic know how to find light in adversity;" People who are pessimistic by nature often blow out the light because of stupid sighs. When you know the joy of life, you can enjoy it. " He also told us, "people who are preoccupied will be troubled by trivial matters;" "People who want to get rid of it cannot be bound by major events."
The optimism and pessimism of human nature, in fact, mainly lies in their own mentality. Just like people of two personalities walk into the same forest, a pessimistic person may say that there are too many mosquitoes and too much noise here, which affects his appreciation of flowers and plants; Optimists may say that besides beautiful flowers and plants, there are mosquitoes singing here, which is really wonderful. If two people walk out of the forest again, pessimists may say things like boredom, depression and depression again; An optimistic person will feel that everything around him is bright and his inner world will be suddenly enlightened. Therefore, people with two different mentalities have different views on things in the same environment.
People live in this world, whether it is flowers, sunshine or people or things around them. Everyone lives in peace and advances and retreats together. What's wrong with this world? When encountering difficulties and setbacks, it is useless to lament no matter how big the problem is, as long as you don't walk into a dead end. Keep an optimistic attitude. If one method is different, then in another case, different ways and moods may make you more surprised and successful.
Ii positive and optimistic case of facing life!
1882, a baby girl almost died because of a high fever. Although she survived, the fever left a legacy for her-she could no longer see or hear. Because she can't hear, it becomes difficult for her to speak. So how did such a blind and deaf child of 19 months grow up to be a world-renowned writer and speaker?
The high fever cut her off from the outside world and made her lose her sight and voice. She seems to be locked in a dark cage. Fortunately, Helen is not a person who gives up easily. Soon she began to explore the world with other senses. She followed her mother, pulling her skirt, and was inseparable. She touches and smells all kinds of things she touches. She imitates other people's actions and will soon be able to do something by herself, such as milking or kneading dough. She even learned to recognize people by touching their faces or clothes. She can also judge her position in the garden by smelling different plants and touching the ground.
At the age of seven, she invented more than 60 different gestures to communicate with her family. For example, if she wants bread, she will cut it and butter it. When she wants to eat ice cream, she will wrap her hands around herself and pretend to tremble. Helen is extraordinary in this respect. She is very clever and sensitive. By studying hard, she learned something about this strange and chaotic world. But she still has some feet. Helen began to realize that she was different from others when she was five years old. She found that other people in the family spoke with their mouths instead of gesturing like her. Sometimes she stands between two people and touches their lips. She doesn't know what they are talking about, and she can't make a meaningful sound herself. She wants to talk, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't be understood. This made her very angry, and she often ran around the house, kicking and screaming in frustration.
As she grew older, her anger grew stronger and stronger. She became wild and unruly. If she doesn't get what she wants, she will lose her temper until her family obeys. Her usual methods include grabbing food from other people's plates and throwing fragile things on the ground. Once she even locked her mother in the kitchen. So we must find a way. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a tutor-Anne Sullivan. Anne taught Helen carefully, especially what she was interested in. In this way, Helen became gentle and soon learned to read and write in Braille. By touching the speaker's lips with her fingers to feel the movement and vibration, she learned to touch her lips again. This method is called Tedema, which is a skill that few people have mastered. She also learned to speak, which is a great achievement for the deaf.
Helen proved herself to be an excellent scholar. She graduated from Radcliffe College with a score of 1904. She has amazing attention and memory, and at the same time she has the perseverance to never stop until she reaches her goal. She wrote about my life in college. This made her a great success and she was able to buy a house for herself.
She traveled all over the country and kept giving lectures. Her deeds have written books for many people and staged plays and movies about her life. Finally, she became famous, was invited to go abroad, and was honored by foreign universities and kings. 1932, she became the vice president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind.
1968 after her death, she set up an organization named after her to fight blindness in developing countries. Now this organization, "Helen Keller International", is one of the largest organizations providing help to the blind overseas.

Lincoln has many loveliness. He never hides himself. When someone joked that his father was a shoemaker, Lincoln smiled and said, "Yes, my father is a shoemaker, but I hope I can manage this country as skillfully as my father makes shoes." Lincoln is good at expressing the deepest truth in the most popular language. His most frequently quoted famous saying is: "You can fool some people at any time, you can fool all people sometimes, but you can't fool all people forever."
Although Lincoln had a rough life and suffered many setbacks, he still waited for tomorrow optimistically. In Lincoln's life, there were far fewer happy moments than sad and troubled moments, but he still kept fighting. Even his opponents admire him for it. Stephen Douglas, the opponent who defeated Lincoln twice, said in his evaluation of his old opponent: "He is a powerful figure in the party, with superior intelligence and rich experience; He is the best campaign speaker in the west because of his funny and quiet appearance. "Confederate army commander in chief Robert. General Lee once said, "Lincoln is the most admired person in his life, although their political views are different. ".
The loveliness of Lincoln is that although he has been in politics for many years, he has not changed his unpretentious nature. Lincoln is not a perfect man with many shortcomings, but he is a kind man, a persevering man, a man with a sense of justice and a reasonable man. When Lincoln entered the White House, he just wanted to overthrow slavery. He didn't expect that this game would make him the greatest president in American history. At that time, he was very worried that this would lead to the division of the country, but he wanted to overthrow slavery at the expense of the division of the country, because he firmly believed in the opening statement of the Declaration of Independence: all men are created equal. Although Lincoln's personal life was unfortunate, he made millions of people in Qian Qian happy.

Ⅳ An example of optimistic life is urgently needed! Very need
Psychologically, optimistic personality is characterized by self-confidence, optimism, freedom of expression and tolerance of setbacks. Optimists can often look at setbacks positively and gain and loss dialectically. Su Dongpo, one of the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties", was once called "hopeless optimist" by Lin Yutang. Today, we can still learn from him how to cultivate an optimistic character.
Be optimistic about stress
Su Dongpo's career path is extremely bumpy. In his 42-year career, one-third of his time was spent in "decentralization". Instead of giving up on himself and being wild and uninhibited, he turned a cavity of grief and indignation into the driving force of literary creation, and wrote poems such as Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia.
"Upset, busy, happy." Su Dongpo was bored in exile, but he was not idle. Instead, I did everything myself, and then I developed a hobby of farming and cooking. The most typical example is that Su Dongpo left more than 20 kinds of dishes related to him, such as Dongpo meat, Dongpo crucian carp and Dongpo tofu, when he was sent to Huangzhou and Huizhou. These dishes are still talked about by people today.
In stress psychology, there is a theory that the problem lies not in stress itself, but in the attitude towards stress. If one road is blocked, optimists will not "hit the south wall and never look back", but will turn to other jobs.
Optimism is conducive to longevity.
Su Dongpo was 62 years old when he was exiled to Danzhou for the last time. According to historical records, Su Dongpo was carrying a coffin at that time, fearing that he would stay in the local area for too long and could not come back alive. However, his optimism has created tenacious vitality and prompted him to survive in a harsh environment.
Su Dongpo's case illustrates the relationship between optimism and vitality. A recent study shows that optimism has an impact on longevity. Through the follow-up survey of 10 years, the researchers found that compared with pessimistic people, the proportion of optimistic people who died of diseases was 55 percentage points lower.
Cultivate an optimistic character
Optimism is a kind of ability, and everyone can cultivate an optimistic character. Su Dongpo's famous sentences can give us a good reference.
First, "the moon has ups and downs, and people have joys and sorrows. This matter is ancient and difficult. " Realize that life is not perfect, so don't expect too much from people and things, and pursue perfection.
Secondly, "there is less willow cotton blowing on the branches, and there are more fragrant grass in the end of the world." In the face of setbacks, we should always keep a normal mind and look at the problem from a positive perspective. Don't be too pessimistic, let alone hang yourself from a tree.
Third, "I suddenly heard the roar of a lion, and my staff fell on my palm." This poem tells us to cultivate a sense of humor consciously. Chen Jichang, a good friend, was always scolded by his wife, which reminded Su Dongpo of the way Sakyamuni roared, and Chen Jichang's wife was from Hedong County, so there was a joke of "the lion roared". Learning more humor can not only solve the embarrassment, but also make yourself happy. (Chen Youwen)

A week later, the salesperson called back: People here wear shoes, but they have foot diseases. Wearing shoes is good for their feet.
