有一次，我在一本书上读到一个故事，讲述了火车上的一位老人，他在窗边弄丢了一只鞋子，令大家感到吃惊的是，他迅速把另外一只鞋子也扔出窗外。人们问他为什么那样做，他说如果有人捡到他的一只鞋子，是没有用处的，但是一双鞋子就有价值。老人家是慷慨的，他对生活有着乐观的态度。乐观的态度是很重要的，当我们遇到困难了，就能克服。如果我们总是觉得沮丧，就不会开心。我们无法改变坏事情，但是可以改变我们的态度。

译文：

在这世界上有两种类型的人。虽然他们有相同程度的健康与财富和其他舒适的生活，但一个快乐，另一个悲惨。这是由他们在考虑事情时不同的方式决定的，人和事件，都会在在他们头脑中造成影响。一个是乐观的，而另一个则对周围的一切都悲观。

快乐的人把他们的注意力集中于事物的便利、谈话的愉悦、精心准备的菜肴、晴朗的天气，他们享受这一切。不快乐的人恰恰相反。因此，他们总是对自己不满意、他们说的话破坏了交往中的快乐气氛，得罪许多人，老是使自己不愉快。

什么是乐观呢?乐观就是当你遇到困难，你会勇于面对。那什么是悲观呢?悲观是当你遇到问题，你不会迎头挑战，只会像缩头乌龟一样，紧紧的缩在那里，表示你是一个很胆小的人。

如果你以乐观的态度过生活，你会有很多朋友，也会有好运降临在你身上。只要以乐观的态度面对生活，你的人生就会一步又一步的往上升，未来肯定会像大明星一样散发光芒。像我就是乐观的人，所以身边有许多好朋友陪伴我。

小心了!有些同学总以悲观的心情面对所有事物，他们只要不甘心或心情不好，都一滴一滴地流下眼泪，真是让人懊恼。面临人生的各种挑战，如果你是乐观的人，你会怎么做?如果你是悲观的人，你会怎么解决?因为我是乐观的人，我会说:“没关系!下次可以做得更好。”但如果我是悲观的人，可能会一蹶不振。

我觉得乐观和悲观是生活上的图画纸，我们可以用五彩缤纷的色彩帮自己的人生画上不同的图案。只要拥有乐观的态度，就能让我有一份快乐的心情，勇敢去面对各种难关。

译文：

无论生活有多么的艰难，我们不应该迷失心智或者抱怨目前的处境。在我们的旅途中我们也许会得到很多也许会失去很多，但是我们应该一直保持乐观的心态。如果我们自信，勤奋，什么都无法打败我们。就像俗话所说的，上帝对每个人都是公平的。如果他关了一扇门，他会给你打开一扇窗。

读后感：生活中遇到困难是在所难免的，玫瑰花可能很美，也可能不美，就像毕加索的画我会觉得不好看而它依然备受人们推崇一样，这仅仅取决于你的态度。困难和阻碍的确存在，但是如果你很乐观的话，那它们就仅仅是我们通向胜利的漫长道路上的小插曲。

最近，我看了一部印象深刻的电影——《珍爱》。这部电影讲述的是一个生活在哈勒姆区的美丽胖女孩珍爱琼斯的成长经历。它揭露了哈勒姆区贫穷痛苦的生活，但是，它也同时鼓励了人们不管遇到什么样的困难都要以积极乐观的态度去面对生活。

珍爱受到很少的教育，所以她不能正常地读书写字。更糟的是，她经常被她母亲暴躁的脾气逼得四处流浪。最糟的是，她被继父，未满17岁就有了两个小孩。鉴于她所遭遇的情况，她不得不辍学到替代学校学习。在经历了一些挣扎，克服许多困难后，在老师和同学的帮助下她重新找到了生活的目标。

在电影中，尽管遇到很多困难，珍爱仍然坚持抚养她的孩子。她坚信她能够摆脱过去的生活有全新的开始，最终她做到了。她的坚持告诉我们，保持积极乐观有助于实现梦想。

在生活中，很多人遇到一点挫折就容易觉得沮丧。在我看来，遇到困难的时候，我们应该学会保持积极乐观的态度，这样我们就有更多的力量去维持和追逐我们的梦想。
