With the vigorous rise in positive psychology and the influence of the trend of positive psychological thought on researchers, they would no longer only take the instantaneity of adversity and danger into consideration, instead, they combined the theory of physics, philosophy and spiritualism, and realized that the psychological toughness was the potentiality of human nature. Therefore, it is potentiality of psychological toughness that motivates individuals to pursue self-fulfillment, altruism, harmony of wisdom and energy.Under the currently popular mental health education, a majority of teachers simply equate the positive mental health education with optimistic education or commendably education, and blindly give their acknowledgement to students during the education practice.
