An optimistic person sees things with possibilities, where a pessimistic person would see things without possibilities.  At times, there will be adversity that results to temporary and permeant situations.  During any situation, a person must know how to overcome it, or they will endure failure.  Many types of the situation, can either demoralize or elate their confidence.

           The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, people were devastated by the disaster.  Some were hopeless, and depressed; others were determining to overcome this disaster.  Most of these people knew how to overcome this situation.  On the other hand, others just endure failure.  A pessimist would believe that, this was inevitable.  Pessimists would also think that they are cursed.  Where as an optimistic person would believe that, they were at the wrong place at the wrong time.

           There are times when a person, will hange from a pessimist to an optimist.  When a pessimist may have gone through a situation before that changed their mind set.  They see how important goals are. They will become determined, motivated, and focused.  Once they achieve their goals, their can remains either an optimist or return to a pessimist.
