    ..and, he's sitting there, his life is s---, he has no money, can't support his child, but he's still thinking "everything will be ok lol" when the odds were heavily against that.

    Chad was blessed to grow up in the lower middle class. C-Wizzy didn't have a lot but he and his family weren't ever horribly uncomfortable. Things got tight, like having to live in one bedroom basement apartments, however the Warden's never felt in danger of being out on the streets.

    Chad's happy with how things are. Decent job, decent life. Chad is happy he can say he gets "bored", because being bored means you aren't in any danger.

    Chads realist approach is neither bad or good, IMO. In the middle.

    I try to stay positive all the time and usually things go pretty smooth for me. Either the attitude is working or I've just been really lucky :idk:

    It's not black and white at all

    infants are hopeless and useless anything can happen to them good or bad


    Someone who's really negative will obviously have negative and pessimistic thoughts which will restrict opportunities for them. And it's the opposite for someone positive

    Like "I'm ugly why bother trying to get with girls" vs "whatever looks aren't everything" who do you think will have a better chance with girls? The one who's too scared to even try or the one who doesn't care?

    Or an aspiring rapper being like "It's impossible to get in the industry it's just a pipe dream" vs a positive one who keeps trying because it's fun for him anyway and going to local amateur events and whatnot. The positive guy may well never become a rapper, but his chances are far greater than the other guy

    Or a business owner upset about the economy blaming consumer confidence not trying new marketing strategies because he "knows" they won't work and it's useless. Complains that he can't find good staff. Interviews people with expectation it won't go well. Is never in the mood to try new things etc. VS someone who's the complete opposite of that who's always open and looking forward to new strategies is friendly and great with staff etc. The positive man's business has a much better chance at growing and thriving


    Good and bad things can happen to anyone at any time but it doesn't change the fact that being positives opens you up to more chances and opportunities than if you're always upset and negative and shut down

    long story short it's better to be positive and hopeful than negative and pessimistic. The law of attraction is real and negative thoughts attract negative things and viceversa

    Yes you can be the most positive person on earth and still get hit by a bus or you can be a depressed negative b------ and still win the lottery but you're looking at it wrong with that sort of logic

    Definitely an optimist, I try to always see the bright side and the good in everyone. There's way too many people out there who have such a s--- attitude. I think it's imperative to make an effort to go out of your way and do something for someone else, even if it's just a smile. No matter how small the action, you don't know what someone else is going through. It can really make a difference in their day.

    On the real though, part of me believes life is predetermined. We aren't any different than NBA draft prospects. "Yeah, he has a low ceiling", "Yeah, he has potential", people are not equal. The cards we are dealt with stay the same. We can play the game, even cheat a little, but the rules never change.

    I mean if you are negative about everything then there isn't really anything to look forward to in life.
    Like if you really think that your life is just a tunnel that just leads to emptiness then why even continue to walk down the tunnel? When you start thinking like this, you are just going to start performing at a level below everyone else because you don't believe in yourself. At this point you realize that you are always 2nd place and you cant figure out why.
    Now if you look the down the tunnel thinking that at the end of it is something grand; everything you can possibly imagine. The results wont be the same, sure you might go down the tunnel and fall over a couple of times but everyone does. Some many not fall as often as you do but that's life.

    I hang around some n----s that always have some negative s--- to say - bla bla "Look at how this n----- living his life, lucky MFer he had it easy"
    This the same n----- that used to pick Miami Heat in 2k13 :kanyelaugh:

    But thats just Jehovah talkin some random s--- bout tunnels

    Infinite wasn't that optimistic. During the writing process he was suicidal. I don't get the "hoping for the best" vibe from the album, I got the "wishful thinking" vibe from the album.

    Sometimes it's too hard, I know... But think about it - you're still alive and YOU DON'T HAVE TIME, the clock is ticking... Are you gonna waist your time for bad mood? It's not worth it :emoji_wink:

    @KND

    It's all about an attitude in my opinion.
    Look... My ex left me year ago for some punk. I was drunk almost every single day from last October untill January, this year. I've decided to stop, but I was still drinking with my homies from time to time.
    When things started to look better, my grandma suddenly died. She was one of the closest people to me... Then one of my best friends died, exactly month ago.
    s--- looks deppresive af, right? But I've looked at this from different perspective - I'm alive, I've got all life ahead of me. If I'd just sit and cry about how s-----y this life seems to be, I'd go crazy really quick.
    If you stay positive, you see more - more better things in life... I'm clean and sober, happy about my life. Like I've said - It's all about an attitude.

    Btw. Sorry for my broken english :mynig2:

    I actually posted that in another thread, but i want to hear more opinions.

    You always hear that your attitude/mentality can determine your life. People often say it's all mental, you got to believe in yourself, it's all in your head, but is that actually true? I know so many people with quote on quote bad attitude, always complaining about small stuff, being pesimistic and so on, but at the end of the day they are doing pretty good, no major problems and so on. And there is another group, who have good attitude, being optimistic and all and it seems that these people struggle a lot and life beats them down a lot. Ofc there are people with good attitude that are doing good and people with bad attitude that are struggling, but does your attitude really matters that much or it is all about luck?
