Just a journal entry at school that I thought might be nice to put up on my blog.
I consider myself an optimist. I love to make people laugh- it makes the place more lively. If someone tries to put me down, I respond to in a a funny way instead of trying to come up with a comeback to put them back down. Also, some of the time, I can make a person’s day just by being positive all the time. It makes me happy when someone laughs because of me.
One other reason why I do not like to be a pessimist is because pessimists are usually very lonely. They have no friends because they are always so negative to everyone – not many people like them. I don’t like being angry because it causes pain for me and other people around me. Sometimes, though, there is no choice butto be down. Take, for example, when a person around me that is annoying me so much that I have to become unpleasant and angry at people. Another time I usually am “blue” is when I have tried so hard to do something, but failed. Even then, I say to myself that there is a second chance to do it (except for times when there aren’t really any more changes). I quote from a movie, “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift – that is why it is called the ‘present’”.
I consider myself an optimist, and I think more people everywhere should be optimists when they can, too. Why? It makes the world a better, joyful, and peaceful place, beneficial to everyone.
