Personally, I think that the coexistence of pessimism and optimism generally exists in people with mild pessimism, because optimists will consider everything in a positive direction, so it is difficult for truly optimistic people to feel the thoughts of pessimists. Pessimists, in their initial views on the problem, will have a greater proportion of pessimism, but it does not mean that there is no optimistic estimate, because absolute pessimists should not exist in the world, and even if there is, it is estimated that they will have to commit suicide to get rid of them.
I remember reading a short story: in ancient times, there was a scholar who took part in the imperial examination. He wanted to go to Beijing to catch the exam. On the way, he stayed in an inn and had a dream at night that he was growing vegetables on the wall with a hoe. When he woke up, he thought the dream must be very strange, so he went out to find a fortune teller to explain it. The fortune teller was shocked and said, "This gentleman's dream is not good for your trip!" " Think about it, crops have been planted in the ground since ancient times, but you planted them on the wall. That means you're wasting your time! "The scholar listened, blindsided, and suddenly felt that the imperial examination was over, and it must be hopeless. Then listlessly go back to the inn to pack up and get ready to give up the exam and go home.
Then the innkeeper was very surprised to see his sad face, because he was too anxious to prepare for the exam a few days ago, and suddenly changed, so he asked the scholar strangely, and then the scholar told the boss the dream and its explanation. Hearing this, the boss smiled and said, "I also learned the art of dream interpretation when I was young." I don't think that man's explanation is correct. Let me explain it to you. " Other people's dishes are all grown in the local area, which means they are all ordinary, while eating Chinese food on the wall clearly means' high school'. How can you give up! "Hearing this, the reader's eyes lit up, and the previous gloom was swept away, and he continued to study hard. Finally, he was nominated for the gold medal in that year's exam.
Whether the story is true or not, the moral is obvious: pessimism and optimism are just the difference between one idea and another. Think in a positive direction, you can naturally work harder and your efforts will be rewarded. As long as it is not blindly optimistic, the possibility of success must be greater than that of pessimists.
Everything in life has its two sides, which is reality. Don't dwell on which doctrine is closer to reality. You can face up to the reality you are facing, analyze rationally, do your best and prepare for the worst. Then whatever the outcome, at least you can have a clear conscience.
