emotional and emotions do play a significant role in our actions and
attitudes. We may encounter some personal tragedies or sufferings, but
the actions and attitudes we take might differ. For example, being
moderately positive means that we can keep a sanguine outlook on our
experience; means that we can transmute the negative feelings into a
positive attitude towards our frustration; means that we can look the
unpleasant matters in a positive light and tackle them with great
resilience.
Personally,
I
espouse
bing
a
moderately
positive
individual.


Hellen Keller, who was blind and deaf, became a celebrated writers with
unflagging
belief
in
herself
and
unyielding
willpower.
In
front
of
Hellen
Keller,
there
lied
two
options:
either
live
live
to
its
fullest
or
wither
away
like
the
autumn
leaves.
Instead
of
capitulating
to
the
sheer
darkness
and silence, she harbored prodigious fortitude to vanquish the personal
trageies and sufferings. Under the assistance of her teacher Anne, she
learnt Braille and writing. After reading a sea of books, Hellen Keller
soaked
up
all
the
quintessence
and
wisdom
of
other
writers
and attempted
to write her own.
The spirit of never
being pessimistic sustained
her in
the most darkest hours of her life and she rose like a shinging star in
the
firmament
of
writing.
Her
teacher
also
held
a
positive
belief
in
Hellen
so she resolved to help Hellen face life positively.


There are innumerable other examplars of being moderately positive.
Thomas Edison, by dint of a postive mindset and unwavering pursuit,
invented
the
most
endurable
and
suitable
material
to
make
the
incandescent
bulb which marked the inauguration of the electrical era. Madame Curie,
by virtue of a optimistic attitude and steadfast tenacity, extracted an
infinitesimal amount of radium from tons of impure materials after
three-year-and-nine-month experiment and advocated to use radioisotope
to
cure
cancer
which
rendered
humanity
a
powerful
weapon
to
fight
against
the fatal disease. Hua Luogeng, a renowned Chineses methematician,
metamorphosed into a math master by holding a positive outlook and
unswerving doggedness.

It's
not
hard
to
find
the
common
denominator
of
the
brilliant
and
reverent
giants: a positive outlook towards the sufferings and failures.

Being moderately positive will arm us with an effective weapon to repel
the enemies of negative feelings that will hold us back and become a
stumbling block on the way ahead. It will bolster up our belief and
confidence in the face of the mishaps and torments and we will possess
a more optimistic perspective to the life tragedies. Being moderately

positive
is
like
a
beacon
light
of
hope
which
will
illuminate
our
way
ahead
and
resembles
a
lighthouse
which
show
us
the
path
when
we
are
disoriented.
Then all the darkness will fade away and crumble into dust. Being
moderately positive is the inner force which propels you froward in the
teeth
of
setback
and hurdles.
We
will
ooze
confidence
and
persistence
no
matter how tough the situation is.

Nevertheless,
we
are
supposed
to
put
the
positive
mindset
in
perspective,
which means we need to understand it in the appropriate and right way.
Here the positive mindset is a moderately positive one, not overly
optimistic.
Anything
that
is
too
much
will
backfire.
The
last emperor
of
Shang
Dynasty
was
being
too
sanguine
and
optimistic
and
believed
that
his
kingdom was impregnable and was never to be toppled by others. Thus he
sank
into
the
debauched
and
promiscuous
lifestyle,
listened
to
the
malign
suggestions
of
his
diabolical
officers
and
precluded
any
good
suggestions
from
being
sent
to
him.
The
decadence
and
depravity
eventually
led
to
his
downfall and his power was nullified and compromised. This renders us a
good
lesson
that
we
shall
never
become
overly
optimistic
about
our
lives,
works,
conditions
and
circumstances
because
undue
and
inordinate
optimism
led
to
the
complacent
and
smug
mentality.
It
is
always
counterproductive.

Individuals should always strive for the better selves rather than rest
and wallow in self-contentment when the achievements are made. That is
why being overly optimistic should be deprecated and criticized.

So, what we need to do is to differentiate the positive mind from the
overly-optimistic
one,
for
there
is
a
blurry
line
between
these
two.
Our
capacity
to
distinguish
between
them
must
be
acuqired
by
constant
failures
and attempts. Always being moderately positive is not an easy task and
trying to keep it is even much harder. Sometimes we will become
disheartened and lose all the hope; sometimes we will enjoy the
exhilaration of being successful and then get obsessed with the current
achievements.
Through
failures,
we
can
have
a
much
clearer
interpretation
of being moderately postive. And this is a long process that should be
covered step by step and brick by brick.


Can
being
positive
backfaire?
I
cannot
answer
in
the
affirmative.
But
add

to
the
sentence:
Can
being
moderately
positive
backfire?
My
answer is definitely NO.
