But people with an optimistic outlook see setbacks as external, temporary factors and believe in their own abilities. They regard setbacks as an opportunity to learn and grow, encouraging themselves to turn tragedy into strength, and if they really can't carry on by themselves, they'll seek outside help.
反之，樂觀思考的人則把挫敗或苦難當成外在一時的因素，認為問題總會過去，自己其實有能力，因此會把挫敗視為鍛鍊、成長的機會，勸慰自己要「化悲痛為力量」，即使真的走不下去，也願意尋求外援。
