@Asadibrahim, why you were sure?, here I elaborates it. actually I was absent on CSSFORUM so I could not see your posts.



The meaning of lemons according to the cognition and perception of Pessimist, Realist and Optimist.

The meaning of lemons: Opportunities
Pessimist: The pessimist always scares of doing anything even when life throws lemons he cannot make lemonade. A pessimist is often viewed as a negative person, but in reality this isn’t the case. Most people confuse pessimism with fatalism which is the root of this misconception. By definition a pessimistic person is usually a skeptic or doubter, someone who needs proof before they jump on board. Whenever they hear something new, they are the first to scrutinize it before they will accept it. Can be frustrating to some (especially optimists), but often they are the ones that facilitate the level of quality and change. Investigators and scientific people often represent this group.



Realist: The realist thinks that it was his fortune or misfortune according to the situation. A fatalist/realist is someone who constantly spews out doom and gloom in just about every turn you take, no matter the situation. They are almost always at odds with something or someone (bone of contention) and are the hardest group of people to satisfy. Doomsday preppers tend to embody this group.


Optimist: but the Optimist always looks into the bright side of the picture, situation any calamity. He can make lemonade when life throws lemons on him/her. Optimists are often touted as the best way to be and are usually shown to be well adjusted and happy. They tend to look on the more favorable side of life and events expecting the most favorable outcome. Their outlook hinges on idealism and often overlooks the basic nature of people. Because of their upbeat mindset, they are often the most likely to be gullible and naive. They are the kind of people politicians like because they can be easily persuaded.


The best way to become more positive is to slowly build up more positive memories and beliefs by evaluating events as they happen from a better perspective.

Explanatory styles: Optimists vs. pessimist vs. realists
We all tend to evaluate events according to three dimensions:
Internal/External – Whether we think the event was in our control
Stable/Unstable – Whether we think similar events in the future will turn out like this
Specific/Global – Whether we generalize it to other kinds of events

Optimists and pessimists tend to use opposing combinations of these dimensions to explain events:
A pessimist who just failed an exam might think: “I am stupid (internal), I’m going to fail all of my exams (stable), I will never find a career (global)”. Instead, a complete optimist is more likely to think: “I did the best I could (external), I’m sure I’ll do better in my next exams (unstable), this was just a blip (specific)”. Of course all other combinations are possible, but these are the best and worst case explanatory styles to explain a negative event. If you evaluate an event as internal/stable/global it will mean a lot more to you and your entire life than if you think it was due to an external/ unstable and specific cause, i.e. the impact of the event is intensified, rather than brushed away. Optimists tend to apply the first combination to positive events and the second one to negative events, i.e. they don’t let negative events affect them too much and emphasize the meaning of positive events. Serious pessimists do the opposite. When, instead of failing, they ace an exam, they are still likely to use the worst case explanatory style: “The questions were too easy (external), I just got lucky this time (unstable/specific). The best case evaluation that gives you the most confidence and influences your predictions in the most positive way would be: “I got this grade because I studied hard and am good at this (internal), my next exams will turn out just as well (stable), I feel confident about my abilities and I know that I will be successful in the future (global).”

So, what is the most realistic explanatory style? Two of the dimensions have a clear objective alternative: unstable (rather than stable) and specific (rather than global). If you explain events in unstable and specific terms, you concentrate your evaluation on this event only and don’t generalize. This means that for negative events, the optimistic explanatory style is the more objective\realistic one. For positive events, pessimists would strictly speaking be more objective, but this is where the self-fulfilling prophecy comes in: if you generalize positive experiences (i.e. see them as more meaningful and exemplary), they will influence your beliefs more and improve your future predictions, meaning that eventually your generalizations will become reality.

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is a proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life, while lemonade is a sweet drink.
