Have
you ever read or see this quote: ''Humans being are creatures of the
future, and not the prisoners of the past.'' or ''If you don't let go
of your past, you can't have a great future.'' So humans are
creatures that like to project themselves in the future, and it's why
optimism is so important to us.
Imagine someone that project himself into the future with pessimism views. He will see everything bad, and see himself become a failure. And so be depressed, sad, etc...
In
the other hand imagine another person seeing his future with hope and
optimism. He will imagine good thing happen to him so when bad thing
happen he will see them as local and as thing he can
change. And so on will try harder.
So
we can said that the ripples of optimism is:
- You get less depressed when bad event occurs
- You're more resilient.
- Your physical health is better (less stress).
- Event people like you better.
- And because you try harder, you achieve more.
We
can see that the ripples of optimism isn't just feeling good and
happiness.
Some
Dyslexic people tend to be pessimism because they see theirs failures
instead of focusing in their accomplishments. Most of the time it's because teachers,
school, parents tend to put a focus on their learning disabilities and tell them every
days about it.
So we teach kids to become children with bad self-esteem, we need to change that and to focus on good thing more than bad thing. Like the quote of James Baldwin said: ''Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.''
Let take an very simple example of every days : Let take a teacher or a parent, that want their children or student to stop yelling at each other. The teacher or Parent will simply yell at them to stop yelling. The children will see you yelling at them to stop yelling, is this a good example ? No, you want them to stop yelling and you're yelling at them to stop yelling. You must be an example to them and not ask kids to do things you don't enjoy or choose to do yourselves.

It's
why Optimism and Good example let people and kids flourish more than
pessimism and bad example. If you want people to do something you
must do it yourself first and if you want to get good thing in the
future you must think of them and stay OPTIMISM.
AND FINALLY DYSLEXIA DOESN'T HAVE TO HOLD YOU BACK, SO ALWAYS KEEP IN YOU THIS OPTIMISM ATTITUDE THAT WILL HELP BE A BETTER PERSON.
Very nice article I always know optimism was giving you so a good humor but not all this.
