概述
在競爭激烈、生活節奏快的現代社會中，每個人的生活壓力都很大，煩躁、恐懼、不安、鬱悶等負麵情緒可能會隨之而來。負麵情緒會影響人際關係，影響人們的生活和工作狀態，甚至會危害人們的身體健康。因此，人們需要學會排解負麵情緒，努力保持一個好心態，增強抗壓的能力，讓自己充滿正能量。身處逆境時，能夠調整心態，走出低穀；身處順境時，能夠以更積極的心態迎接新的挑戰。
一、寫作思路 首段：可以說明生活在現代社會，每個人都麵臨各種各樣的壓力。壓力是生活中無法擺脫的“伴侶”，要與之友好相處，關鍵是培養積極的心態。也可以如參考範文所示，通過對漫畫的描寫引出主題：有些人看到別人和自己一樣有負麵情緒，仿佛會感到安慰；但我們應該知道，積極的心態才是解決問題的根本途徑。
中段：可以從兩方麵闡述我們為什麼要保持積極的心態。首先，過去無法挽回，若總是沉溺於過去，無法從糟糕的考試成績或者失業的陰影中走出來，始終抱著消極的心態麵對生活，那麼生活隻會越來越糟。其次，人們應該意識到沒有人能夠一帆風順地度過每一天，生活中的壓力是難以避免的，若能用積極的心態應對，可能會克服更多困難，樹立更多信心，從而使身心更為健康。
末段：概括全文，同時呼籲人們不要被生活中的負麵情緒所左右，要保持良好的心態。

Staying Positive in Tough Times
one always takes comfort in seeing that he/she is not alone in having negative feelings. It seems that seeing other people have the same negative feelings makes one comfortable; however, it is a positive mood that counts, not how many people are the same as you. In other words, it's important that we maintain optimism and never lose confidence in ourselves.
One reason this is important is that dwelling on the past, like getting poor grades in one exam or losing a job, will only make you feel worse and liable to lose control over everything else. Another is that no one can expect to have a life that runs smoothly every single day of the year, and we have to learn to experience the emotional ups and downs with a peaceful mind, so that we will finally be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
