Optimists and pessimists dealing with the same challenges react to disappointments differently. When things go wrong, the pessimist tends to blame himself. "I'm not good at this." “I always fail," he would say. But the optimist looks for loopholes. Negative or positive, it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. If people feel hopeless, they don't bother to acquire the skills they need to succeed．


在处理相同挑战的时候乐观和悲观的情绪会形成不同的沮丧。当事情向不好的方向发展时，悲观情绪会更倾向于自责。他可能会说“我并不擅长它。”“我总是失败。”但是乐观主义者会寻找漏洞。消极或者积极是一个自我应验的预言。如果人们感到无助时，他们便会欣然获取他们需要成功的技能。
