So let's take the pessimists first.
我們先來看悲觀主義者
They have certain goal, and they have low expectations, low levels of beliefs, they don't think they would do well.
他們有某個目標，他們的期望低，信念不高，他們不認為自己能做好
Low levels of motivation, their mind looks for consistency,
積極性低，他們的大腦尋求一致
and their performance is usually according to their beliefs and expectations.
他們的表現通常取決于他們的信念和期望
And the interpretation is, I told you so.
他們的理解是，我早跟你說了
I told you I couldn't do well here.
我早就跟你說了我做不好
And then everyone else in a chorus says, yes, you told us so.
于是其他人都異口同聲說是的，你早就跟我們說了
How wonderfully realistic of you.
你這樣現實真是好啊
But then sometimes a pessimist succeeds beyond his or her expectations.
但有時悲觀主義者超出了自身的期望取得了成功
And then what happens?
那么又會怎么樣呢
The interpretation is, low levels of beliefs,
這時的解釋是，低水平的信念
so the interpretation is, well, it was lucky, it was because Mars was in front of Venus,
那么解釋就是，只是走運而已，是因為火星轉到了金星的前面
and that only happens once every 50 years, won't happen again.
50年難得一遇，不會再發生了
Or, it was my lucky day, or, she just played very poorly today.
或者，今天是我的幸運日，或者是因為她今天表現得不好
And then, the mind looking for consistency, they go around that loop again and again, and then become realistic once more.
于是，大腦在尋求一致，一次又一次地重復這個循環，然后再一次變得現實
Unsuccessfully realistic, but realistic.
不成功的現實，但是現實
So they're realistic in the short term as well as in the long term.
于是他們在短期目標上同樣也在長期目標上很現實
Let's look at the optimist now.
我們現在來看樂觀主義者
The optimist starts with high levels of beliefs, high levels of expectations, motivation, incredibly high.
樂觀主義者一開始有著很高的信念，很高的期望，積極性，非常高
The mind looking for consistency, performance, not so good, not as good as the expectations were.
他們的大腦尋求一致性，表現，沒那么好，沒期望中的那么好
In other words, unrealistic.
換言之就是，不現實
