OPTIMISM

OPTIMISM

Life is full of ups and downs, good and evil, love and hate, but for everything that happens to man, there is a lesson and a purpose. You may not always get what you expect from life, but life will always expect something from you, an action or a reaction; a response or a question; a fight or a concession.

Optimism is the expectation of a favourable or positive outcome from an   EVENT or happening, but it goes beyond that, it is also the ability to react positively to a negative event or happening. An optimist always see the good in every situation, an optimist see the opportunity to learn rather than to quit, he sees the opportunity to step up higher from a better platform.

Optimism has always been a subject of heavy criticism, it has been seen as a means of escape from reality, but in reality, without optimism man would not have seen the level of advancement that has taken the world to this point in our existence. A pessimist would not invest so much strength and resources into something he is not sure will produce a positive result, but an optimist always expect the best irrespective.

In the words of Helen Keller, "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." We must always hope for the best in everything we do, and when we do not get what we expect, we must receive it with positivity. The battle for achievement can not be fought without the armour of OPTIMISM.
