Do Look At The Glass Half Full
　　注意好杯子里满的那一半

　　Cultivating optimism is about breaking old thought patterns and establishing new ones, says Maddux. If you're truly looking at a glass that's filled to the halfway mark, why not see it as half full? Choosing to focus on those "half-full" things might help you realize that you don't need your cup to runneth over in order to feel optimistic.
　　提高乐观度是要打破旧的思维方式建立新的方式，Maddux说。如果你只是盯着那部分空的杯子，为什么不看看满的那一半呢？选择去看满的那部分可以让你明白并不需要换一个杯子来感到更乐观。

　　Be Glad
　　知足常乐

　　By comparing yourself to someone with a thinner body, bigger house, or flashier car, you're always going to end up envious and pessimistic. Remember: Things could be worse. In one study, researchers asked participants to finish the sentence "I wish I were a ______." Another group was asked to complete the sentence "I'm glad I'm not a ______." The study participants rated their sense of life satisfaction before and after this task. Those who completed the "I'm glad I'm not a ______" sentence felt significantly more optimistic than they originally had.
　　如果一味和那些比你瘦、房子比你大或者车子更酷的人来比，你永远都会活在嫉妒和悲观之中。记住：事情只会更糟。一个研究中，调查员问参与者来完成一个句子“我希望我是__。”另外一个组则要求去完成“我不是___我很知足。”分别测试了小组的参与者在调查前后对生活的满意程度。那些完成后一句话的人比他们原先感到更加的积极和乐观。
