1. They Don’t Assume the Worst
不总往坏处想
It’s amazing how many problems wouldn’t exist if we didn’t invent them. Positive people know that leaping to conclusions is usually a bad idea. Instead of freaking out about an unanswered text (“What if they don’t like me?”), they go on with their day (“hmm, they must be busy!”). Before they decide another person is untrustworthy, they make an honest effort to find out more about them.
如果我们不去乱想,其实很多问题根本就不存在,懂不懂?积极的人知道太在意结局不是个好办法。与其花时间去乱想那些没有答案的东西(如果他们不喜欢我怎么办?),不如就去认为他们也有自己的生活(恩,他们实在太忙!)。在决定判定一个人靠不住之前,他们会积极地去了解更多。
