It’s been brought to my attention and I have also seen it multiple times that students have been way to busy complaining rather than seeing the bright side to every situation.
It is too early in the semester to be self-loathing and pin pointing all the bad and not giving any recognition to the good.
It’s the second week of school and from what I can tell it has been rough for many of the students. For the first time in the last four years that I have been here, I’ve seen students handing in assignments on syllabus week or the week after.
In prior years, many of the professors eased into the workload, which has students worried for what the rest of the semester will look like.
This is no reason to be complaining since we all knew coming into college it was never going to be easy.
Instead of thinking, “Wow, this teacher sucks because she is piling on work and it’s only the second week of school.”
Think of it in a positive way such as, “Wow, this teacher is giving so much work, but maybe it will prepare us for later tasks at the end of the semester.”
Brining in a fresh point of view to the table will help you keep on your assignments more because you know your doing it for a reason and the reason will be rewarding in the end.
Being on optimist should not just apply to those who are in school; it’s important to be optimist through out every day activities.
People forget that everyday is an opportunity to get out into the world and see things in a different point of view.
Don’t look at something unfamiliar and just ignore it, take it and roll with it and try your best to see why such a thing would be so important.
Something that might help some pessimists is to think that just because it “isn’t working” for you or because “it’s not important to you” doesn’t mean that it isn’t important to someone else.
Everyone sees things in a different light and sometimes you have to step out of your own spotlight to appreciate the ray of natural sunlight.
There is always something good in everything you do, it’s your job to find how it relates to you and make the best out of every situation.
Complaining about something will only keep you farther away from your goals and will make you look like a downer in front of people.
Most people do not want to surround themselves with downers. Step outside of your box and take every act as it is and see the beauty or the reason in it.
You’ll find yourself enjoying life much more than you were before.
