这是一幅简单但值得深思的图画：在个翻倒在地的瓶子旁边站着一个悲观的小伙子，脸上呈现出巨大的失望，发出一句评论，“全完了/全撒了”；然而，另外一个人弯腰去捡瓶子，非常喜悦而又兴奋的评论道，“还好，还有点！”。尽管是完全相同的瓶子，两个人的态度完全不同。
事实上，很多聪明的人都已经意识到保持乐观心态的重要性。图片中的情节使我们很自然的联系到了很多成功人士，他们成功的典型特点就是乐观心态。在我看来，乐观能被比喻成一条通向成功的道路。一个典型例子就是林丹，作为一种重要素质，乐观带给临到力量，唤起他对比赛的热情，帮助他获得胜利。然而，今天，在困难面前，越来越多年轻人失去了自信。这种趋势很值得注意，因为他们只看到了逆境，忽略了困难背后的希望。
