POPSTips from Thomas Edison on Living Optimistically Dr. Martin Seligman, the director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Positive Psychology Center, and author of Learned Optimism, has studied optimists and pessimists for 25 years. His research has found: Optimists * Less depression than pessimists * Better results than pessimists in most areas of life * Longer lifespan * Healthier than pessimists * Better than pessimists at work and in school * More friends and better social lives Pessimists * More depression than optimists * Inertia rather than activity in the face of setbacks * Feels bad subjectively–blue, down worried, anxious * Poor physical health * Self-fulfilling; pessimists don’t persist in the face of challenges and thus fail more frequently, even when success is attainable * Even when pessimists turn out to be right, they still feel worse than deluded optimists

POPSIs she "the Patron Saint of Terror" or a real HEROINE? Did she "for all intents and purposes committed suicide" as this Zionist alleges? Must all victims of Zionist atrocities somehow become the authors of their own deaths? Fleeing women and children become suicidal maniacs? It's so easy now to stick suicide beside Arab or Muslim and blame them for their own murder. And if it works with Arabs why not on Arab sympathisers, even American sympathisers. All deserve to die in the fascist meat grinder. Well when they can murder 34 brave men on USS Liberty with no consequence what do you expect for a slip of a lass like Corrie , full of youthful idealism. Death! And a tarnished reputation!
