The important reason for having a good mentality is that it allows us to better cope with life challenges, deal with difficult problems, increase psychological well-being, etc.
1. Coping with life challenges
A positive attitude makes people more resilient and flexible, and can better cope with challenges and adversity in life. When facing difficulties and failures, a good attitude can help people stay calm, find solutions, and learn from experiences.
Balzac was not famous in the initial stage. He experienced many difficulties and poverty. Although he studied law, he insisted on becoming a writer despite his father's suggestion that he become a lawyer, which led to a tense relationship with his father. Soon after, his father stopped providing living expenses, his works were repeatedly returned, and he fell into financial difficulties and debt. In the most difficult time, he could only eat dry bread and boiled water. But he remains optimistic and enjoys the food in his imagination by drawing virtual plates every time he eats. What is even more thought-provoking is that it was during this difficult time that he spent 700 francs to buy a large cane inlaid with agate stone and engraved it with the words: "I will crush all obstacles." This heroic quote inspired him, and it turned out that he had indeed become a world-famous writer. We must also persist in our dreams, face difficulties with optimism, and actively overcome obstacles.
2. Dealing with thorny problems
A good attitude plays a vital role in dealing with thorny problems. It keeps us calm and looking for practical solutions. A positive attitude and optimistic beliefs inspire our creativity, persist in hard work, and overcome difficulties. Under pressure, a positive mindset helps reduce anxiety and mood swings, making us more determined and patient to face challenges.
Neil Armstrong is a typical example. He was an American astronaut who became the first person in human history to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. . Before carrying out the Apollo 11 moon landing mission, Armstrong faced many difficult problems. He has to face an unknown environment and bear extremely high responsibilities, and the success of the mission itself is not 100% guaranteed. But he showed optimism and perseverance. During the lunar landing mission, his lunar module had some problems, which almost caused the mission to fail. However, he did not fall into negative emotions, but stayed calm and optimistic to deal with the problem, and successfully solved a series of difficulties. Eventually, he successfully landed on the moon and became a legend in history. Neil Armstrong's optimistic attitude allowed him to perform well under extreme conditions, successfully complete a great mission, and become a role model admired by the world. An optimistic attitude can help us face challenges, overcome difficulties, pursue dreams, and achieve outstanding results. No matter how difficult the situation is, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude can give us infinite courage and strength.
