Optimism is a concept closely related to happiness. It is about not giving up when the going gets tough. Yet when the going is good, having optimism means you expect the good continue. It is about having hope and always believing that things will improve. Being an optimist puts you in a good position to deal with situations and difficulties in life.
Generally Speaking
Optimists believe bad things are temporary. Bad things occur sometimes but do not last. For example, your boss shouting at you on a Monday does not mean he or she will shout at your for the rest of your working life. An optimist has an awareness that bad things do occur in life, but that they will be able to get up again.
Bad events are not your fault. For example, the terrible weather conditions made it hart to win the game. It is easy to criticize yourself unfairly for such a thing. Yet, constant self-criticism can damage your self-esteem. If you are able to look for other reasons for problems, you tend to like yourself better. Of course, you also have to be responsible for your actions.
Optimists confine bad events to one particular situation. For example, just because you forgot a birthday, it does not mean that you will forget about it all your life. You just happened to forget that. Optimists don’t over-dramatise（夸张）a situation.
