The Fourth one
Pessimism
The age old battle between pessimism and optimism will never end. All motivational speakers and well to do people will tell you that being positive is what made them. Pessimism is the evil that bogs them down.
But is it the case? Pessimism is what helps people through the day. When you are a pessimist you can accept the worst, you do not become too hopeful and you do not set your expectations too high. You set realistic goals as a result and do not get down as much as you do when you are optimistic.
Just pessimism is not the way forward. We need to pickup points from the good optimist. You need the ability to put up a pretend 'smile' and get up when you are down.
Final word is...The world is big enough for the optimist and pessimist. In my mind every individual is 70% pessimist and 30% optimist. Success is raising your optimism level. A 80-100% pessimist is suicide.
waiting for feedback...
