Why is being positive so important in life? Talk about a time when you wish you were more positive

If I don’t think being positive is so important in life that mean I don’t grow up. Because whatever what happened, the life should continue, and I can’t take a lot of burden on my way. I know my character has a weak side, and most of the time when I face some problems, the first thought is I want to escape. But now, I realized I’m a adult and I can’t do something like a child. Theses days I met too many bad things, I met a bad man and I lost my money and my work is not good, at the same time , my health also not very good, but these bad things made me awake, and most like remind me I need to change my lifestyle. I learned when I met bad things, first I should focus on the problems and I will try to fix it, if I can’t change something, I thought what the worst it was, if I can afford, that shouldn’t mind me always, I should learn stop and forget, because I still have my hope and my dream.

Why is being positive so important in life? Talk about a time when you wish you were more positive

If I don’t think being positive is so important in life that means I haven’t grown up. Because whatever happens, life should continue, and I can’t take on a lot of burden along the way. I know my character  / personality has a weak side, and most of the time when I face some problems, the first thought is I want to escape. But now, I realize / I have realized I’m a adult and I can’t do things like a child. These days I have met / have been experiencing too many bad things, including when I met a bad man and lost my money. Also, my work is not good, and at the same time , my health is also not very good. However, these bad things made me awake / woke me up, and most likely / maybe reminds me I need to change my lifestyle. I learned, when I met bad things, first I should focus on the problems and then I will try to fix them. If I can’t change anything, I think what is the worst thing that could happen? If I can afford it, that shouldn’t ever bother me. I should learn to stop thinking and forget about it, because I still have my hopes and my dreams.
