Eternal Optimist
THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST
My name is Sadie and I am an eternal optimist. What is an optimistic person? Well, in this essay I will not only explain what an optimistic person may be, but also why I consider myself one, and examples of me as an optimist.
First of all, let’s define what an optimist is. A person disposed to take a desirable view of things. The word is originally derived from the Latin prefix optimum meaning “best.” In addition, optimists always hope for a favorable, positive outcome in any situation. Optimistic people tend to live a longer, healthier life rather than a pessimist. So I believe that being optimistic is not a choice, but a lifestyle.
Secondly, I consider myself optimistic because I always find a positive angle in a negative situation. Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile, a world of optimism, and hope. A ‘you can do it,’ when things are tough attitude. I may not be able to save the world, but it is the positive little things that can really turn myself or somebody else’s day from poor to superior.
Furthermore, my friends have always said that I seem very happy no matter the situation at hand. Recently I lost my wallet and on the way to the bank I ran out of gas on the side of the road. There was not a gas station or any building for that matter, in site. Instead of getting all worked up and being the typical pessimist, I called a friend for help. We laughed at the situation, found a solution, and moved on. In conclusion, being optimistic makes the simple things in life a lot easier.
In the end, I have defined, explained, and given examples to support why I am an eternal optimist. Being optimistic has allowed me to enjoy life more, and given me many advantages, mentally and physically. After reading this paper, there should be no question what an optimist is, and why I enjoy being one.
