As is shown in the picture above, two men react in completely opposite ways when faced with the same event: A bottle fell off on the ground, and the wine inside spilt out. One is smiling, feeling glad that he still has the rest half of the wine while the other is sighing in great desperation saying that “everything screwed up!”

The cartoon tells us that being optimistic and being pessimistic are two different attitudes towards life. Faced with a challenge, a pessimistic person may feel gloomy and distressed. He considers himself powerless, and complains about it all day long, refusing even to have a try before giving it up in the end. An optimistic person, however, may adopt an entirely different approach. He may not regard the challenge as something that bad; instead, he takes it as an excellent opportunity to display his abilities and talent. As an old saying goes, “The way you perceive the world will determine your way to cope with it.”

In my point of view, though it is natural that we encounter challenges of one kind or another in our life, we should be optimistic whenever we are confronted with challenges. If we are pessimistic, we are destined to fail, ending up accomplishing nothing. But if we approach the challenges in an optimistic way, we may go from victory to victory.

显示在上面的图片中，两个人的反应完全相反的方式时，面临着相同的事件：一瓶在地面上摔了下来，里面的酒洒了出来。一个是面带微笑，感觉很高兴，他仍然有剩下一半的葡萄酒，而另一种是叹了口气说，“一切都搞砸了很大的绝望！”

漫画告诉我们，乐观和悲观两种不同的生活态度。面对的一个挑战，一个悲观的人可能会感到阴郁和心疼。他认为自己无能为力，抱怨整天，甚至拒绝在年底前给它一个尝试。一个乐观的人，但是，可能会采取完全不同的方法。挑战，因为他可能不把坏的东西，相反，他把它作为一个极好的机会来显示他的能力和天赋。正如那句老话，“你感知世界的方式，将决定它自己的方式来应付。”

在我的角度来看，这是很自然的，我们遇到的挑战，在我们的生活中的一种或另一种，我们应该乐观时，我们所面临的挑战。如果我们是悲观的，我们是注定要失败的，最后一事无成。但是，如果我们即将面临的挑战，以积极的方式，我们可能会从胜利走向胜利。
