Why Are Some People Naturally Optimistic?

Imagine two friends who both get a bad grade on a test. One friend thinks, 'This is just one test, I’ll do better next time!' The other friend says, 'I’m never going to pass this class.' Some people are naturally more optimistic because their brains work differently, they see the good things first!
