Critical thinking

Overcome negative biases

All through the night, you sit

Counting the reluctant hours as they drag by

The night, silent and cold

Offering no comfort but chills

Yet if it’s night, surely it will be a day

Gather yourself together

It’s only a phase

It will be passed.

I liked this poem because it helps me understand the optimism bias. When I took the test the result was Negative bias. Thereafter I stumbled upon this poem which helped me within positive or an optimistic outlook towards life. Now, I know that there is a pattern good times and bad times they are part and parcel of life, but we need to be optimistic and stay happy in the situation we are !
