Optimists “They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this one case. The optimists believe defeat is not their fault: circumstances, bad luck, or other people brought it about. Such people are unfazed by defeat…Confronted by a bad situation, they perceive it as a challenge and try harder.” Seligman, 2006 Pessimists “The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault.” Seligman, 2006
