positive pessimist 积极的悲观主义者
Let me explain the concept first. To be a pessimist means, you get low, expectation to yourself. And you prepared to lose. And what about being positive. It is easy to understand that means you make best effort on everything, and you have a strong willing of winning the game.
But if you combine this concept together. It seems that a paradox. Yes I think so, but I also think it is the way the world is it born to be.
And it really works in the reality. We can always find something around us. They have totally opposite two sides, but they combine together, and work well together.
So how to be a positive pessimist. Let me share some experience with you. I know I'm not old enough to tell stories. But these stories really meant to me.
The first one back to 2012, it's the first time I become a TV series producer. But as you know, I am an actress and a singer. But working as a producer was totally unfamiliar for me.
So you remember first I have to be a pessimist. I had to imagine what will be the worst consequence. I think the worst result must be no one would buy it. And I will lose both my time and money. And the whole investment equal to the revenue I earned by acting for the past few years.
So I asked myself several times, "Can you really accept the worst consequences?" I think yes, at least, I could try, so I started shooting.
last year, I took an invitation from BEAR GRYLLS, is there anyone know that? If you know that you might thought I was crazy.
Yes, this man who stands on the top of the food chain. He almost eat everything. You might think I was crazy, yeah before that I did no physical activities, I have very bad body condition. I was afraid of a lot of things, I was afraid of height and insects. I didn't even dare to take a roller coaster.
But I almost took this invitation immediately. Because I truly understand if I lost this chance, I would never earn it back in the rest of my life. So I decided to take the adventure. During the twenty days adventure, I caught rats, I caught mice, I ate insects. But I didn't drink the urine.
So after that experience, I learned there is no shame to be a loser. You just need to set small targets, and devote yourself. sSo these stories which happened to me, shaped me as a positive pessimist.
