The quote means the point of view I have toward the world. We always have to keep our mind in optimistic or pessimistic while living our lives. I think the quote makes sense, because an optimistic mind calms me down when I face some difficult situations and make me try to do another activity in the desperate circumstances. I always try to behave optimistically and have a positive mind. Unless I have the mind, I don't feel to do anything, and just want to lie down on the bed. I want to have busy life not idle life. In other words, the optimistic thought is the motive of my action.

I have an example when I was a first year student in my university. I was getting fat for drinking lately at night and greasy snacks and sausages served with alcoholic beverages. I didn't know about my growing fat but someday, I feel my pants a bit tight. I was shocked about that and decided to lose my weight. I always did exercise and walking around near a dormitory. Before long, I don't want to exercise everyday due to the cold weather. After one month, I took my weight but the weight was same as before. I was frustrated for the fail. However, I worked out again every day for imagining my slim legs ,waist and wearing a bikini in my imagination in a beach. My diet was successful and I returned to my original state.

I didn't give up with having positive mind to succeed in losing my weight. I thinkg this shows how the positive mind effects the result.
