（TED英文演讲）韩雪：积极的悲观主义者——观后感 To be a positive pessimist. —— Feedback When we were young, we often dare to do whatever we can regardless of anything because we are innocent. As we became more mature after growth, we started being afraid of making mistakes. It’s common that we choose to be the best or nothing. Just like the lecturer Han Xue mentioned, we trapped ourselves in an overprotective world. Everything we are going to do or each situation we may face is unpredictable, but it shouldn’t be the reason for our escaping all hard per iods. What if people always get rid of troubles? It seems like a signal meaning a loss of imagination and creativity. So, there must be some solutions that are needed. Han Xue shared her strategies about being a positive pessimist. She suggested that we receive lower expectations to ourselves and prepare to lose. Meanwhile, it doesn’t mean that you can always give in. Spare no efforts and go for it! There won’t be so much pity even if a failure happens. You might have a confusion about the “positive” and “pessimist”, how could a couple of opposite attitudes interweave together? However, we can find such paradoxes surrounding us. Generally speaking, we are expected to show our confidence while taking huge challenges, and conquer them with will power. Particul arly, you needn’t be ashamed of losing only if you put your heart into it. A positive pessimist may not have something outstanding, but he(or she) must be better which is unstoppable. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/fc80af3668d97f192279168884868762caaebbe6.html
