People who choose to see the negative side of things, or are pessimistic, tend to receive the negative aspects or side of things.

    It takes a great amount of patience to choose to be optimistic rather than negative, and it takes optimism to teach you to be patient. Sports teams were a great influence in my life and I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to play on so many different teams because the opportunities taught me to be patient and optimistic, not just in sports, but in life as a whole.
