Exercise #20

TERÇA-FEIRA: Dia de Exercícios


Leia o texto abaixo:

Some people don't know how to react when times are difficult. But those times can be considered difficult or challenging, depending on your perspective. Your attitude to life, the way you reacts to a new situation, especially a difficult (or challenging) one, can make a difference.
There is two ways to look at every situation in life:


Is the cup half empty? Or is the cup half full?


It is amazing how your perception can be changed by your attitude.
For example, think about God and then look at these letters:


N-O-W-H-E-R-E

You can read those letters as one word and assume that God is nowhere.
But you can also look at those letters from another perspective and believe that God are now here.

Optimists always try to look at things from a positive point of view. They doesn't ignore the dark side of things, but they choose the other side. On the other hand, pessimists always sees the negative side of things. A pessimist doesn't believe in luck.

Follow this advice and improve your life.

Believe in yourself and your values. Set goals for your future but don't be discouraged when things goes wrong. Don't forget that there is others in the world with bigger problems than you. Always remember to look at the good things in your life, and be thankful for the time you have with your family and friends.
So next time you look at that classic situation in your life:



Be an optimist and see the cup as being half full. You can make the world a better place when you try to be a happier person. If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours. Here's one to get you started.
