*Think

An optimist is a person who thinks positively; who thins he can do something in spite of difficulties. An optimist expresses certainty in achieving a goal.

*Think and do

``You are what you think’’, is a well –known saying. An optimist believes in his own ability. If you want to win anything, you must say to yourself every time ``I can do it, I will succeed’’.

*Thoughts in your life

`` Your thoughts control your life,’’ said Dora Albert. The impossible becomes possible as the mind decides.

*Faces problems

An optimist never runs away from the problem. He faces it as challenge. An optimist lives not by the strength of his body but by the strength of his mind.

*Trusts in God

An optimist trusts in God. He believes that God provides him only good. He entrusts himself. To God and works hard till he achieves.

*Pessimist

If you think, ``I cannot do it’’. Then surely you will not succeed. Don’t say to yourself, `` I am very poor.’’ Such a thought is destructive. If you entertain such a thought, you will be called a pessimist.

*Faithful

A pessimist has no faith in himself. A pessimist looks at the darker side of things. He thinks negatively. He blames others if he fails. He will blame the teacher and say, ``She did not teach well and that is why I got poor marks’’. He will not accept his laziness.

*Joy in life

A pessimist never finds joy in life. He will murmur and he will go on complaining instead of working hard.

Think

* If you think you are beaten, you are

* If you think you will lose, you are lost

* Think big, deeds will grow

* Think small will fall behind

* Think you can that, and you will

* It is all in your state of mind
