The pessimist borrows trouble; the optimists lend encouragement.
Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes the solutions.
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.
There is one thing we can do better than anyone else: we can be ourselves.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Real optimism sees the negatives but accentuates the positive.
