PESSIMISTS...
Story
There was a hunter who bought an amazing bird dog.
This one-of-a-kind dog could walk on water.
The hunter was looking forward to showing off his new
acquisition to his friends.
He invited a friend to go duck hunting.
After some time, they shot a few ducks and the man ordered
his dog to fetch the birds.
All day long, whenever there were birds to be fetched, the
dog ran on water to retrieve the birds.
The owner was expecting his friend to comment or
compliment him about this amazing dog, but never got one.
As they were returning home, he asked his friend if he had
noticed anything unusual about his dog.
The friend replied, ?Yes, in fact, I did notice
something unusual. Your dog can?t swim.?
Some people always look at the negative side. They are
referred to as Pessimists.
Characteristics of Pessimists
? Are unhappy when they have no troubles to
speak of
? Feel bad when they feel good, for fear
they will feel worse when they feel better
? Spend most of their life at complaint
counters
? Always turn out the lights to see how dark
it is
? Are always looking for cracks in the
mirror of life
? Stop sleeping in bed when they hear that
more people die in bed than anywhere else
? Cannot enjoy their health because they
think they may be sick tomorrow
? Not only expect the worst but make the
worst of whatever happens
? Don?t see the doughnut, only the hole
? Believe that the sun shines only to cast
shadows
? Forget their blessings and count their
troubles
? Know that hard work never hurts anyone but
believe ?why take a chance??
Caution: Looking for the positive does not necessarily mean
overlooking faults.
Learn to be an Optimist.
Characteristics of Optimists
? Be so strong that nothing can disturb your
peace of mind
? Talk health, happiness and prosperity to
every person you meet
? Make all your friends feel that you
appreciate their good qualities and strengths
? Look at the sunny side of everything
? Think only of the best, work only for the
best, and expect only the best
? Be as enthusiastic about the success of
others as you are about your own
? Forget the mistakes of the past and press
on to the greater achievements of the future
? Give everyone a smile
? Spend so much time improving yourself that
you have no time left to criticize others
? Be too big for worry and too noble for
anger
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHERS AND
SPECIALLY TO PESSIMISTS IF THERE ARE ANY
