Zhihu Zan: How optimistic can people be? 17-year-old terminally ill teenager's answer makes people cry.

Editor | Know a stupid girl?

Longfellow, a great American poet, said: Behind the dark clouds is still a bright and sunny day.

I'm impressed.

Faced with difficulties, pessimists are unhappy and always think of the worst. Optimists can always see the bright side.

In this life, we can't control the change of fate, but we can change our concept of fate through our mentality.

There is a question on Zhihu, how optimistic people can be, and one of the answers shocked me after reading it.

The answer is that the patient 17 years old, but suffers from a hereditary premature senility. Patients with this disease are 5- 10 times faster than normal people. The patient looks like an old man, and his organs are rapidly declining, resulting in a decline in physiological function. The average patient can only live to 7-20 years old, and most of them will die of senile diseases.

There are only 350 such cases in the world.

This is undoubtedly a natural and man-made disaster for anyone, but the answer is that the Lord accepts it gladly and even loves himself.

He said: "I don't have to worry about his terminal illness anymore, because I have a terminal illness."

Many times, we feel that our fate is unfair and the world is cold, but when we remain optimistic, the world will not be so gloomy.

In the final analysis, optimism is the best medicine.

From 65438 to 0966, after the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, Jiang Yang was one of the earliest scholars influenced by it. Not only was he criticized, but he was also arranged to clean the toilet.

At that time, the temporary worker who used to clean the toilet became her leader, but she looked at it with optimism.

She prepared her own cleaning tools, specially made a small mop, and conscientiously washed the toilets in both rooms white and bright.

1July, 970, she was sent to "May 7th Cadre School" in Xinyang, Henan Province, where she burned bricks to build houses, drilled wells to draw water and grew grain for a living.

However, she didn't collapse because of it. Although tired and ill, she persisted with an optimistic attitude and was finally released at 1972.

The dark days of toilet cleaners and rural areas did not make Jiang Yang give in, but faced it with optimism, instead of giving in to the current reluctance.

It can be seen how important it is to keep an optimistic heart on a cloudy day.

Keep an optimistic attitude, often think that there is no hurdle to pass, and those who can still smile in the face of life and death and love life will certainly not be disappointed by fate.

A good attitude is to lament the injustice of fate, at the same time be able to adjust yourself, not be fettered by fate, not be angry with fate, use an optimistic attitude, and then continue to fight with a good mood.

I think the best way to let the haze dissipate is to keep an optimistic attitude.

Balzac was not famous when he was born. Before that, he also experienced a very poor life.

His dream is to be a writer. His father asked him to study law, but he totally ignored his father's words and just wanted to be a writer.

So his father stopped providing him with living expenses, and at the same time, his articles were rejected one after another, and he began to fall into an embarrassing situation. In the most difficult time, he can only eat some dry bread and drink some boiled water.

But Balzac is optimistic. Every time he eats, he draws a plate on the table with the words "sausage", "cheese" and "steak" written on it, and then wolfs it down happily in his imagination.

It is precisely because of his positive and optimistic spirit that after numerous rejections, he still contributed tirelessly, and finally he succeeded and became a world-renowned literary master.

The beauty of mentality lies in the present and in the future.

If Balzac didn't have an optimistic heart to meet the challenge of fate, but gave in to it, I don't think there would be a world-famous literary master now.

There must be a power called optimism behind the people in the dream.

Optimism is fragile and strong. It can be easily defeated by difficulties, or it can survive in tenacious belief, and the more frustrated it is, the more brave it is.

At the other end of your dream, there must be the word optimism to guide you forward.

H Mencken said, "It is always interesting to be alive, even if you are worried."

Try to think about your troubles from another angle, and maybe you will be suddenly enlightened.

I once saw such a news on the Internet:

A traffic accident happened in Nantong, Jiangsu. My wife accidentally hit a fire hydrant on the side of the road while driving, causing serious damage to the vehicle, but fortunately, the husband and wife did not suffer much damage. After simple treatment, the couple actually took a group photo with a smile in front of the car.

Optimistic people can really make life as sweet as honey, and no matter how big the difficulties are, they can be solved as long as they are optimistic.

Psychologist Alfei Reid Adler said, "Because our troubles and pains are not caused by the things themselves, but by our family's ideas about these things.

An optimistic attitude can make you look at problems with a positive eye, and through the other side of things, you will gain unexpected beauty. On the other hand, a negative attitude will keep you stuck in the present, in pain and trouble until you collapse.

In life, many people often get angry because of some things:

I was scolded by the leader again today.

I have to work overtime today.

The child's grades have regressed.

You will be angry because you attach bad imagination to this matter, thinking about the worst result and thinking about the bad process. Finally, you are trapped in a dead end of an infinite loop.

Li Ka-shing said: You can't control the weather, but you can change your mood.

The gloom in the mood is always brought by oneself. Once the idea is positive and optimistic, no matter how big the suffering is, you can face it calmly. Once your thoughts are negative and pessimistic, even trivial things are enough to make you sad.

Yes, as long as you are optimistic, happiness will follow you, even if there are more sufferings waiting for you, you can still talk and laugh.

Think of Kazuo Morita's words: the road of life has always been described by the heart, so no matter how bad your life is, your heart should not be entangled in pessimistic thoughts.

People under the epidemic can still maintain such an optimistic and positive attitude, and I think the disease will be far away from them sooner or later. Because I know optimistic people, fate will surely take care of them.

We may not be overwhelmed by all kinds of disasters brought by fate, but maintaining an optimistic attitude is the best way for us to face disasters.

I hope you and I can have an optimistic heart, face ourselves, face life and face fate.
