you know conceive and believe, kind of approach.

Rather, it's about how we interpret events.
而是關(guān)于我們?nèi)绾谓忉屖录?/div>
So for example, how do I interpret my failure?

So he distinguishes, and we'll talk about it more next time,

so that could mean, well, it's not possible and I'll never do it or it could mean,

我想要的一份工作被拒了
well, it means I'll never find a job or that's a temporary setback. Let's see what I can learn.

It's also about being pervasive or specific.
也要看人的態(tài)度是一概而論還是有針對性
Pessimists look at things that's being the negatives, being pervasive.

This is what optimism and pessimism is. And it can be learned.
