only speaks French but he s trained to show subtitles tfg J0rs 5KT SL The maturing process To be honest I ve always felt that the power of positive thinking Is Just a little overruled Oh it certainly comfort believe that you can gel ahead In life Just by telling yourself every day In every way I getting better and better The problem Is that this so often files In the face of the obvious act that every day In various ways we re gelling lousier and lousier This Is called the maturing process But now psychologists are proclaiming that an optimistic outlook can actually Improve your health and your ability to overcome stress There was a news story on this Just the other day Well I certainly nice Weir My own theory admittedly unscientific Is that optimists get hit by buses as often as pessimists do It Just hat the optimists are so much more surprised when It happens Still the psychologists are Insisting that optimism Is good for you Indeed one Michael Sender a psychology professor at Carnegie Mellon University In Pittsburgh was quilted as saving If I were lost at sea In a lifeboat Id much rather be stuck with an optimist than a pessimist The professor continued I would expect an optimist lo be able to row and for a long period of time because that person believes It will pay off A pessimist would lay back In the sun taking It easy and say Hmm One could perhaps quibble with the basic premise here II two men are stranded In a lifeboat should we really call the one who Is doing oil the rowing the optimist A cynic might call him the sucker when an optimist and a pessimist Set together Apart from the unpleasantness concerning doughnuts and holes of course have all met These are the people who assure you after the transmission has fallen out your new car as you were racing home following notification that your house was burning down Some day you look back on this laugh This Is why optimists do not have any friends And Just Imagine lo use Prof scenario being stranded lifeboat In the middle of an ocean with this sort person You as a reasonable intelligent adult survey the scene and conclude pessimistically We are In the middle of an ocean In an eight foot lifeboat out of food and surrounded by sharks This Is not a good situation And your companion chirps back But at least Its not raining You point out to him calmly and quietly that the absence of rain Is a substantial problem considering that your containers of fresh water are already halfempty He points out of course that they are half full Not wishing to debate the point any further you lie back In the sun while your companion commences rowing energetically You Imagine all the strained muscles be will wake up with tomorrow morning and for a time his makes you feel better Unfortunately he wont shut up If youd help row be suggests hopefully wed get there a lot raster This is the middle of on ocean you point out There Is nowhere to get to He rolls his eyes and shakes his head Dont be such a Gloomy Gus And stop frowning youll get wrinkles This Is the point at which you see a ship far In the distance You Jump up and down shouting and waving your arms The ship takes no notice and sails over the horizon For Just a moment your companion looks crestfallen And then he brightens and pals you on the arm Some day he exclaims we look back on this and laugh Naturally you have only one option You take up one of the oars a good stout oar and apply It Once you have finished you stand panting over your companion and snarl And dont let me hear you say at least weve still got our health Dont listen to the psychologists Optimism can kill you Ontario will greater protection as thi result of proposed ih tin dints Minister William retimly introduced Ihit will riRht to sevminct pay for affected hy
