They are the ones with a positive attitude. On the other hand, lets see that fellow in the corner with a long face. He is most probably thinking about the time and money wasted in having fun. He is a pessimist, one with a negative attitude.A person with a positive attitude gets on well with the job at hand. He doesnt worry about whats gone before or what might happen in the future.

He doesnt feel that its beneath his dignity to seek assistance.When Sonal lost her history notes days before an important examination, she sat down and cried.
