乐观人士如是说：乐观人群的10个好习惯

6. Positive people do not let their fears interfere with their lives!
乐观人群不会让恐惧打乱自己的生活

Positive people have observed that those who are defined and pulled back by their fears never really truly live a full life. While proceeding with appropriate caution, they do not let fear keep them from trying new things. They realize that even failures are necessary steps for a successful life. They have confidence that they can get back up when they are knocked down by life events or their own mistakes, due to a strong belief in their personal resilience.
乐观人群明白，那些被恐惧所左右和束缚的人永远无法真正活出自己。他们也会保持适度的谨慎，但绝不会因为恐惧而放弃对新事物的尝试。他们深知，失败也是通向成功的必经之路。他们坚信，哪怕被生活中的挫折或自己犯下的错误所打倒，他们也可以重新站起来，因为他们对于自己的抗击打能力有着强大的信念。

7. Positive people smile a lot!
乐观人群常常微笑

When you feel positive on the inside it is like you are smiling from within, and these smiles are contagious. Furthermore, the more others are with positive people, the more they tend to smile too! They see the lightness in life, and have a sense of humor even when it is about themselves. Positive people have a high degree of self-respect, but refuse to take themselves too seriously!
如果你感到乐观向上，你也会发自内心地微笑，而且这种微笑是可以感染他人的。和乐观人群相处越久的人也越容易微笑！乐观人群善于发现生活的闪光点，而且富有幽默感，也不介意拿自己开玩笑。他们也有很强的自尊，但不会太把自己当回事儿！

8. People who are positive are great communicators.
乐观人群善于交流

They realize that assertive, confident communication is the only way to connect with others in everyday life. They avoid judgmental, angry interchanges, and do not let someone else’s blow up give them a reason to react in kind. Rather, they express themselves with tact and finesse. They also refuse to be non-assertive and let people push them around. They refuse to own problems that belong to someone else.
乐观人群明白，自信的交流是日常生活中和他人沟通的唯一途径。他们会避免批判性的、愤怒的交谈，也不会因为他人出言不逊就以牙还牙。相反地，他们在自我表达时善于运用机智和策略。他们还充满自信，绝不会人云亦云，也不会亦步亦趋跟着别人犯错误。

9. Positive people realize that if you live long enough, there are times for great pain and sadness.
乐观人群明白，你活得越长，痛苦和悲伤也越多。

One of the most common misperceptions about positive people is that to be positive, you must always be happy. This can not be further from the truth. Anyone who has any depth at all is certainly not happy all the time. Being sad, angry, disappointed are all essential emotions in life. How else would you ever develop empathy for others if you lived a life of denial and shallow emotions? Positive people do not run from the gamut of emotions, and accept that part of the healing process is to allow themselves to experience all types of feelings, not only the happy ones. A positive person always holds the hope that there is light at the end of the darkness.
对乐观人群一个最普遍的误解就是，他们每时每刻都很快乐。这简直大错特错。任何一个头脑正常的人都不可能永远保持快乐。悲伤、愤怒和失望也是生命中不可缺少的情绪。如果你只拥有一些简单肤浅的情绪，如何能做到对他人感同身受呢？乐观人群在面对各种情绪时不会逃避，他们认为情绪上的治愈过程有助于他们体验多种情感，而不仅仅是“快乐”这一种。他们总是相信，黑暗的尽头必定有光明。

10. Positive person are empowered people – they refuse to blame others and are not victims in life.
乐观人群善于掌控自己的人生，他们不会责怪他人，也不会做生活的受害者。

Positive people seek the help and support of others who are supportive and safe. They have identified their own basic human rights, and they respect themselves too much to play the part of a victim. There is no place for holding grudges with a positive mindset. Forgiveness helps positive people become better, not bitter.
乐观人群会向有能力而且可靠的人寻求帮助和支持。他们很明确自己的基本人权，而且非常维护自己的尊严，因此绝不会扮演受害者的角色。乐观人群有着积极的心态，绝不会心存怨恨。宽容有助于乐观人群抛弃愁苦，使他们的生活更美好。
