TYPES OF PEOPLE - PART 1

 Before I start this blog, I'll just give you the idea of the next few blogs I'll be writing. They will be titled 'Types of people'. Based on which topic? They'll change with every blog. How many parts will be there? I don't know. How many types of people? Again, it will change with each blog. I'll just type them down when I get the idea😉. 

This one is based on how PEOPLE REACT TO PROBLEMS-

1) OPTIMISTS

2) PESSIMISTS 

3) REALISTS

But before I start, I'll give you a few situations- 

1)You have broken one of your mother's plates, which she bought 8 years ago. What is your thought?

• That's it. I'm done for! Mom's gonna kill me now!!!
• Well, we wanted to buy a new plate. Now we finally can! 😀
• I can buy a new one, yes, lekin mummy se toh daat padegi! 😝(But I'll get scoldings from mom!)

2)You are at sea. It is very windy and your boat is diverting from it's path. What is your reaction? 

• Stupid winds! They had to rage now!!
• The winds will surely calm down....
• Easy! I'll adjust the sails!

 3)You have your PE exam next week, and you know you are bad at it. What are you thinking? 

• I know it. I'm gonna fail. Gaye mere marks!(My marks are gone!)
• It's gonna be easy. No worries at all.
• I should start practicing. 

 4) Your views on this?

• A half-empty glass of water.
•  Half full glass of water.
• A glass of water. Main to yeh peene wali hoon! (I am going to drink it!)

If you chose the first options is these 4 questions, it proves that you are a PESSIMIST. If you chose the second, it means you are an OPTIMIST and if you chose the third, it means you are a REALIST.

What do these terms mean?? 

1) OPTIMISTS-

OPTIMISTS are people who believe that they'll be successful and keep spreading hope around!! They always BE POSITIVE (not the blood group 😉). Such people will keep motivating you about success and are mostly stress-free! Optimists see the BEST in the world and are so happy-go-lucky, you sometimes can't help but calm down and smile with them. 🌝

2) PESSIMISTS-

You are clear with the topic of Optimists right? Cause PESSIMISTS, are the exact opposite of them!! The amount of happiness, confidence and motivation optimists spread;  the same amount of scepticism and doubt pessimists spread. Is this completely wrong? Well no...... Not completely. You sometimes need to know everything isn't JUST GOOD, and that time, they are your people.

3) REALISTS-

REALISTS are a combination of optimists and pessimists. They'll observe the GOOD and the BAD in every situation. They won't make you feel completely stress-free or completely worried. They leave you somewhere in the middle. 

Now comes the question, which of these types of people should I be? 

Most of you here might say- Optimists! Because, they will see the POSITIVES in every situation!!!! 

But, NO! Why? Before answering this question, I'll first answer the previous one. The answer to it is - YOU SHOULD BE A REALIST!

As a turned Realist myself (I was a PESSIMIST before and I gotta say, it didn't help me much), I have had advantages of being one. Following are the reasons why I felt being a Realist is profitable-

1) REALISTS HOPE FOR THE BEST, BUT ALSO EXAMINE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE A CHANCE OF HAPPENING-

Realists will wish for success and the best things to happen, but will also not be tooooooo excited about it. Why? 'Cause they'll also remember that there isn't a 100% chance for the best to happen.

2) THEY'LL PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE WORST-

Realists will prepare for the worst both mentally and physically. We think that its CRAZY (sorry to all optimists) to think everything that will happen will be good, so, we make up our mind to not feel toooooo sad if things don't happen the way we planned. We also keep a Plan B ready! ( C, or maybe even E sometimes 😝) 

3) THEY DON'T COUNT ON EVERYBODY- 

Us realists won't blindly trust people. We'll be Realistic and try to understand that not all people are GOOD. Some are our True Friends but there are a few who come for their own selfish motives or to drag us down. They'll act like out friends, get to know our secrets and badmouth us behind their back. Therefore, realists are careful who to trust.

4) REALISTS WORK HARD AND WILL GET BACK UP AGAIN! 

Lost a match? Failed a test? Forgot your dialogues in the middle of a play? Instead of giving up and curling themselves in a corner, or thinking that next time you'll do well, Realists will get back up, try their best and attempt it one more time.  

Hey,
I'm not giving up today
There's nothing getting in my way
And if you knock knock me over
I will get back up again, oh.
If something goes a little wrong
Well you can go ahead and bring it on
'Cause if you knock knock me over, I will get back up again!!
Whoa oh oh oh oh, get back up again, whoa oh oh oh oh oh !!

(From the Trolls movie! Realists can sing this song 😂)

Remember the Trolls movie? Poppy thinks the world is this perfect place where only good things happen and feels that the World is only Cupcakes and Rainbows. And Branch, this "so called depressed troll" keeps trying to make her understand that the world is more than just cupcakes and rainbows. In the end Poppy realises it THE HARD WAY but this time, Branch accepts that she was right. As a kid, it was really very beautiful to see it because I myself felt that you should always be happy, always think of the bright side and stuff, but now? No. Just no. As much as I like the story, it is downright stupid to think that only HAPPY things can happen in life. If there is Happy, there is Disappointing as well. Never forget that it is important to observe both the good, and the bad in situations; because too much of pessimism causes you to lose confidence in yourself, and will lead you to never enjoy things in life, while too much of optimism causes you be unprepared in life. 

And also guys, next month and blog is special. Why? Because it will the 10th post on this channel!!!!  Stay tuned guys!!! 💛💙💜💚🧡💗💝 {Maybe I overdid the hearts but seriously, thank you guys! 😀}
