  Dear Sr. Pessimist:
  
  I think that you should continue your positive attitude because even thought there are those days when you feel like everything is turned against you and no matter how much you smile everyone is frowning back. My advice for those days is just keep smiling even when it hurts inside. The point of this keep smiling proccess is that there is always a better tomorrow where the sun will be shining!

  Yea i know bad things are going to happen whether you have a positive attitude or not but it's about how you respond to the baqd thing if you respond with a negative attitude then your not going to have any good things happen because your mad about the bad stuff but if you respond with a positive attitude then you might come ac4ross some good things happening for you too

  Dear Sr. Pessimist,
  
  Having a positive attitude makes a great difference in every individual's lives! Everybody goes through situations, but having a positive attitude will help you overcome the "crap" that you are going through. My advice to you is to never give focus on the bad things in your life, but more on the better things!!

  I personally feel like your outlook on your situation is wrong. Whether or not you have a positive attitude does make a big difference. In fact your attitude determines how well you can handle a certain situation and if you have a positive attitude the bad things that happen won't seem as bad. It may be hard to do but in order to not stress yourself out you have to stay positive.

  Thigs in life may be so unexpected, you never know what is coming your way at any given time. Just be hopeful and have a positve attitude and know that things are always worse before they get better.

  I beleive that you should not give up towards negative things that happens in life. Things are not suppose to go all the way how you want them to go but at the end of the day it is not that bad as you are making it to be. Stay strong and live life as positve things are towards your furture and keep a positive crowd around you at all times so that you can only think positive about your life. Know thatwill make it through anything in life that you need, just to keep God in your life always and remember love yourself more then others... Love you and keep your head up during the times you think you can't make it anymore...Love you and succeed in what you have a desire of doing in your life.

  Yes, bad stuff stills happens, but there is no reason to see everything negatively because it won't change anything it will just make you feel worser than when you're not in a positive attitude. You will also feel better when you realize that it is not so bad and that you'll live trhough it.

  I would like to start by saying, you should always have a positive attitude no matter what. Everything happens for a reason. Always remember that God is watching over you. Take some time and talk to God, he will make a way for you. A negative attitude will only hurt you in the long run, and thats something you don't want. You might hurt people that you don't want to hurt, because you are holding all of your anger inside of you. Let go all of your stress and things will turn out much better. I want to wish you good luck and tell you, always remember God is on your side.(don't be afraid to talk to him)

  Dear Sr. Pessimist,
  
  Having a positive attitude is always essential. Resilience is key, even in your day to day. Don’t let unfavorable results deter you from being positive. Remember that although some situations are uncontrollable, your reactions to the situations are.

  I agree with monee' i would like to add that anything that goes on in your life that makes you feel like having a positive attitude, think about if the situation is in your control. Because if it is not in your control it's best to get pass it.

  I agree with shannon when everything happens for a reason that something that you just can not controll that does not mean that you should not have a positive attitude. you should just keep your head up because I know there is good things to happen even if in your mind it seem like there not.

  I totally agree with Monee'.In life you're going to have to face things that your not going to want to face. You always have to stay postive.If you don't stay positive your going to have negative things hit you like it's nobody's business.

• Monica Nevarez

  I agree with what Monee said, having a positive attitude is always essential. Things can only go so low before they start to look up for a person. Just always keep your head up and be hopeful, or else you'll make your life a whole lot harder.

  Dear Sr. Pessimist
  
  Yes, man bad things happen to people unexpectly but that shouldnt stop them from being positive. Alot of good things also come from being positive but other time nothing good comes from being positive you jus have to wait and see for waht the world has to bring to you.

  Dear Sir Pessimist,
  
  I know how you feel, but I've had to learn that if my day's not going well for me, I just have to keep smiling, and hopefully, sooner or later, my worries will go away. I totally agree with Tashamika when she said "keep a positive crowed". Keeping a positive crowed is pretty much a major thing in life because having negative people around makes almost everything about you negative. As I've mentioned before, keep smiling, think positive, and you will enjoy a positive day.

  Dear Sr. Pessimist,
  
  Everybody has bad days the important thing is how you are going to get trough them. As Tashamika had mention you should never give up. Even if the day just keeps getting worst by the minute. Althought there are bad bad days there are also going to be good, just keep waiting with a possitive attitude for the good day so you wont fell down and depressed. Always look at life in a positive and energetic way.
  
  Sincerely,

  Dear Sr.Pessimist, I agree with Jontay beacause if you do have a positive attitude that would prevent you from visualizing bad things happening, but at the same time still be ready for whatever or anything that could happen.

  Dear Sr. Pessimist,
  
  
  I agree with Denard Covington cause you can show happyness on the out side but in the inside it hurt. Sean Montgomery said "Bad things are going to happen whether you have a positive attitude or not" an I agree with that to . I think that you should think about the good things in life n look pass the bad try that an see if it work.

  Dear Sr. Pessimist,
  
  I agree with shannon 100 percent. You should always stay positive whatever your situation is. I know your thinking it's so much easier to say it then do it. But that's when God is here for you. I know it hard to stay positive when everyone else around you are negative but that's when you should smile the most. Everything in life is not going to be easy that's just how the world works. Everything also is not going to get handed to you. You have to work hard for everything and be positive while doin so. Im not saying it's going to be easy but what will be your point of giving up?

  If you continue to have a positive attitude then positive things will eventually follow. i agree with Sean Montgomery when he points out that bad things are going to happen it just depends on how you go about dealing with the bad things. In addition to that you have to realize that there are going to be those times when you feel as if everything is going bad, but if you react with a positive attitude then things should result in a good way

  To comment on the ads that have been posted in the past days, there was a lot of good criticism talking about having a positive attitude. In my opinion I really like Atiya Montgomery’s post because she is really taking the words right out of my mouth. Going to the original comment you really have to have faith and when things are bad think positive and try to keep your mind straight.
