Are You Optimistic?

Trying to be optimistic in times of difficulties may be a hard thing to achieve. Optimistic people tend to think of the brighter sides of things and situations. They are ready to face whatever the outcome would be, thus they take control of their thoughts and actions. So are you the positive thinker or the other way around? Do you handle stresses well or are you easily flushed out by circumstances? Find out and reveal your true identity in each situation.

- “Come what may.”
- “The tuition is too expensive. I can’t afford it. Maybe I’ll fail the test too.”
- “If the school isn’t for me, I’ll have to find a second option.”

You aced the interview you had with HRD. Next step, the General Manager. Before entering her office, you:

- Call in sick and leave the office immediately.
- Borrow your co-worker’s laptop and try to do the Powerpoint again. “If I get fired, I’ll accept it.”

- Be disheartened by what your brother said. “I can’t save enough for the car. Maybe I’ll stop dreaming about it.”
