You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Optimism is the Road to a Promising Future Tagore, an esteemed Indian poet, has uttered this saying: if you shed tears when you miss the sun, you will also miss the stars. This remark can be naturally associated with the significance of optimism: whenever and wherever we fail, never should we lose our confidence; if we are not optimistic, we may lose all. 印度一位受人尊敬的诗人泰戈尔曾说过,“如果你为错过太阳而流泪，那么你 可能还会错过星星。”该评论使人很自然地联想到乐观的重要性：不论我们什么时候在哪儿跌倒了，我们都不应该失去信心；如果悲观，我们将失去一切。 Optimism is the key to success in all fields of activity, and it can be likened to the road to a promising future. In the first place, as an extremely vital psychological quality, optimism brings us creative power to play, arouses our enthusiasm for work and helps us overcome difficulties. In the second place, keeping optimistic gives us light/strength when we are in dark, and it encourages us when we are dismayed. It is optimism, rather than genius and extraordinary ability, that inspires us to conquer difficulties. 乐观是各行各业成功的关键，而且它可以被比作通向光明未来的道路。首先， 作为一种极其重要的心态，乐观会带给我们极大的动力，让我们对工作充满热情、帮助我们战胜困难。同时，乐观的心态可以在我们沮丧的时候，给我们光亮和希望。激励我们战胜困难的不是天赋和突出的才能，而是乐观的心态。 To conclude, without optimism, it is impossible for us to witness a hopeful and promising future. Accordingly, people, youngsters in particular, are highly expected to face their difficulties optimistically. Remember: no optimism, no promising future. （178 words） 总之，如果没有乐观的心态，我们不可能看到一个有希望有前途的未来。因 此，人们，尤其是年轻人，应该乐观的面对困难。请记住：乐观，才有美好未来。
