There are two types of people in the world, the pessimistic and the optimistic. Unlike the pessimistic persons, the optimistic people always set their goals high, no matter what challenges come about. When a challenge comes up to a pessimistic person, they put their owns self down, and do not think positively about it, they end up having low self esteem. Optimistic people would welcome those challenges and overcome them.
Take for example Liliana. Liliana is a good friend of mine, when she found out that she was pregnant, she didn't think it was a downfall for her, she actually thought it was a blessing because ever since she had a boyfriend, she wanted to have a baby. Even thought she was pregnant, she went on to complete high school, and she graduated with honors, right now she is still with her boyfriend and is majoring in education.
Another optimistic person is a guy named Joel; we used to call him joelito because he was the little one from the senior class a couple of years ago. When his father died in a car accident, all of his family felt like their life was over. Everybody fell into a depression, but instead of falling into a depression himself he gathered himself and had to be the one to make his family get through the loss of his father, one of his goals was to help his family get through the tough times, and also get through his high school education. Now this wasn't necessarily a good way to set an example of the optimistic people but this shows you what can be achieved when you are optimisti.
