Does anybody have any article reference or tips on how to remain optimistic, I just did a quiz online and apparently I am a pessimistic person. I want to have faith in positive possibilities but I don’t know how to build it.

Link for the quiz please.
I think connectivity with God is an easy way to be optimist. when you can't do anything for a particular problem, just surrender to God who is all powerful to bring before you what is better for you.

Re: optimism
I think it is neither desirable nor realistic to be optimist all the way. To be optimist in all situation can make you overlook the cause of problems, whereas realism (realistic pessimism) can help you find cause of you failure so that you can correct it. Same goes for religious matters, if we keep on optimism that we are Muslim and one way or another we will get Jannah that thought can make us lazy in fulfilling our religious obligations, but at the same time we have to be optimist (realistic optimist) that if we offer prayer Allah will (InshAllah) accept our prayers and reward us with Jannah.
So we need to keep balance between optimism and realism.
Coming to question of OP, I see you did a positive and realistic thing by opening this thread and discussing you problem. I dont know what site you visited, but i do know there are lot of such websites which offer users such tests, and at the end of the test they offer you some paid material that help to become optimist, they had to sell.

but being optimist doesn't mean escape from realities. It means maintaining hope that every problem can be solved and there is always a way out. no?

Yes, but as i said in reality we need to follow a balanced approach. Optimism is hopefulness about future or successful outcome of something. It does not necessarily regard the complexity of the problem and possibility for a solution of problem.
Realistic approach is as important as optimism is and they are not same.
Here, the term realism implies that it can only be achieved at the cost of reducing optimism. so you have to lower your optimism to be realistic.
That is what I think.
