In life you will encounter two types of people. The postive ones and the negative ones.
And sadly, there seems to be more and more negative people as you grow older.
This is because as people grow older, they become disappointed with the choices they make and continuously blame themselves for their lack of success. This attitude will continue to fester inside their minds until it can no longer be contained. It will then be conveyed to other people thus communicating the disappointment and making the other person doubt his or her self.
This cycle will continue unless a paradigm shift is introduced.
When you encounter a person with negative thoughts or feelings, listen to them in the most objective manner possible. Help the person see what they need to do in order to break the downward spiral they are heading to.
Look at how positive people deal with problems. They look at the problem, try to solve the problem and move on if the problem is solved. There is no room for negative thoughts nor frustration.
Aspire to change your life by taking a more positive outlook in life, after all Dum spiro, spero - While I breathe, I hope. (Cicero)

I try not to let negative people get to me. There are just some people in life that just are going to take the greatest, most wonderful thing that you can imagine and find something rather sour about that. That is just something that I have come to accept. It is not something that I necessarily like, but there you go. There are just many people who are going to really find it their mission in life to bring down the moods of other people.
I try to look at the positive outlook in life. Granted its not the easiest thing in the world to do a lot of the time. And there are times where it might seem like it something that is pretty much impossible. Still I do find myself making a good honest attempt at doing what I need to do to remain positive and optimistic. Trying to shift myself away from those people who have negative viewpoints and a negative outlook on life can in fact help a lot. Just try and not to let them get you down.

Yes, there are these types of people in the world. I think we need to add one other type. The realistic ones. Not real positive because life isn't always. And not necessarily alway negative either. Yes, I think that people should look more toward the realistic and look at it more closely.

I always walk away from negative people, sometimes they deliberatly try to put you down, so you should not waist your time and listern to people like that. The want to pass their misfortune to you or see you fall with them. I try as much to associate myself with positive people.

I wonder if there are more negative people the older you get. I have hardly negative people around me. it's also a choice you can make not to attract all the negative people in the world and try to change them. Negative people cost a lot of energy.
Also there is a big difference between being realistic and negative.
My life never been easy, is far from easy now but I don't see the point of being negative day and night. It's not only a choice but also a my character.
And it is just like my brother always says: at least you have something to talk about.
