1、Optimists are passionate about their work.
1、乐观者热爱工作。
Do you need to drag yourself to work every morning? Optimists dont, because they spring out of bed excited to face the day. This is because optimists have chosen to pursue jobs and careers for which they have real, genuine passion.
你每天早上都要拖着疲惫的身躯去工作吗？乐观者就不会。他们会从床上一跃而起，愉悦的面对新的一天。原因就是乐观者选择追求他们发自内心、真正喜爱的工作和事业。
If you cant remember the last time you enjoyed your day in the office, it might be time to start looking for greener pastures. For optimists, work is more than just an opportunity for a paycheck. Its also an opportunity to learn, grow, and do what you love.
如果你都记不起上一次你愉悦地工作是什么时候，那么也许是时候你该开始寻找更好的职位。对于乐观者来说，工作不仅仅是为了薪资，更是为了去学习、成长以及从事热爱的事务。
2、Optimists focus on the good.
2、乐观者关注好的一面。
Negative events tend to stick in the brain more easily than positive developments, and we all have a tendency to dwell on the negative. When you start to get cranky or stressed, think about something good from your day to balance out the negative emotions. Optimists make a choice to focus on the good in their life instead of dwelling on the bad.
负面事件比正面事件更容易被人们记住。我们都更倾向于老想着负面事件。当你开始烦躁不安或压力重重，想想你生活中好的方面，以此来抵消那些负面情绪。乐观者选择关注他们生活中好的一面，而不会对坏的一面念念不忘。 1/2 12下一页尾页
