  1. The sunlight needled through the clouds
    Bursting each one slowly
    methodically for
    Pessimism is only a shadow of a doubt.

  2. optimisim is a glass-half-full kind of concept. If you’re optimistic, you will always look for the good in a situation; never be panicked and always look on the bright side.

  3. Ordinary people everywhere, extra-ordinary each one of them. They each have a light, a god, a name, given to themselves. Rejoice, for freedom comes in the naming, which straps you down and ties you down and strips you down.

  4. optimism is a word that creates alot of exitement for me because it makes me feel free of anything negative. a lot of people are pessimists in the world and they are always holding hteir head down waiting on someone to try to cheer them up without accomplishing anything other than feeling dow in the dumps. bring a smile on your face and then let everyone see it. it makes for a better day and better life in the decisons you make mdaily. i love the feeling of people looking at me and wandering in the back of their mind why is this guy so positvie about everything. i wander if that makes me different from anyone else in the world. i dont know what i am really doing but i want to find out what is going to happen when i get done with it. that is optimism.

  5. optimisim is a perfect word for today. today’s the day the day’s start getting longer again. more time for love more time for family more time for laughter more time for all the things that are important that are often forgotten. more time to hate more time to cry more time to brood more time for the things that take up space in our minds but shouldn’t. time for renewal.

  6. Optimism is about hope; about seeing the postive through the negative; about seeing the silver lining where others see only gray. Optimism is where dreams are made, followed, and achieved.

  8. optimism is pretty much useless. I mean it serves no purpose but to get you all excited, and people who are all excited can be annoying tits. pessimists are easier to talk to. less snobby

  9. Optimism is thinking positively about stuff. I would say I’m optimistic about other people but pessimistic about myself, which is the opposite to optimism. Glass half empty- pessimist. Glass half full- optimist.

  10. A person should adopt the real art of optimism to achieve higher in life.

  11. Optimism is a thing that a lot of people need but not a lot of people had. I wish I was optimistic, but that’s too optimistic of a thought. I’m not pessimistic – or at least, I don’t like to think I am, though I sometimes really act like it – but I am a bit realistic. I prefer to think of the worst thing that can happen, often, because that way when there’s a good result I end up being really surprised and pleased with it. If I think of the best thing which could happen, I’ll almost surely be disappointed.

  12. simple is the hard work ,because only after hard work u can see the word simple…………

  13. oh yeah i’m so happy. The cup is always half full, even when it is closer to a quarter full. People should be more optimistic. Bubba. Walloping great reindeer.

  14. I am definitely an optimist, and it is a value that I think is really important. If you ask anyone who knows me, they will all say that I’m an optimist, sometimes to the point of seeming like I’m in denial. But optimism is just about believing in yourself and what you’re involved in, and hoping for the best. My favorite quote is one by Helen Keller, talking about hoping for the best and the importance of optimism.

  15. I am never an optimistic person. I try to expect the worst and hope for the best. I guess that’s how one should be in life. The universe is indifferent, and we’re basically fighting “destiny” and its forces. Will versus fate. One can only face what’s to come head on.

    Laurene
  16. Optimism is that warm happy fuzzy feeling of a fresh spring day, feeling young free and ready to take on the world, optimism makes the world go round. Without it we would be nothing – meaningless. Optimism is joy, friends, hope for the future, a better existence and a life renewed.

    Charlie James Smith
  17. It’s good to be a glass half full person rather than a glass half empty one. I mean, with all this talk of recession, depression and dips in profits, we all have to get something good in life don’t we? Look at the times we’re living in – we gotta have faith

  18. We have to sit and wait for the entire world to come to you. When you hit it head on maybe that’s what taking chances is all about. To risk love and pain. To test the waters of disappointment, will eventually lead to optimism.

  19. Being the ultimate optimist, I knew that show that it could be done, was all to convince them of my optimism, Optimism always prevails in my life.

  20. …can really screw up your perception. Or help you see your goal. All depends on the color of your glasses.

  21. i’ve drawn a blank, but there’s hope still hope that all will come back, slowly, eventually. That was her way to calm herself, each day for the past year she kept the optimism that her memory will return.

  22. The eternal optimist: it costs him nothing and everything in the moment; obscuring a bleak insanity for an abstract reality.

  23. It’s a seemingly simple concept that pervades every aspect of life. It is not only a viewpoint that allows one to translate the world around them, but it is a force that one can implement in their own life. I do not know if Optimism can bend the universe to its will. But I do know that it is contagious. Ergo if you use this force you will benefit the people around you for the better.

  24. is about surviving the storm, it is the will to never give up. It lasts even when we think we are pessimistic. Because it is as natural as living

  25. They say that if you were a pessimist you can never be an optimist, can never change, but that not true, that CAN’T be true, she had to believe that.

    And it’s not like she was stupidly optimistic, she was a realistic optimist, which worked out well for her. There was always a silver lining.

  26. I’ll be optimist in a war, I’ll be the optimistic ones in the time of the apocalypse.
    Optimism.
    It’s always okay in the end, if it okay, then it’s not the end.

    Jessica
  27. Things never looked brighter. She was starting a new school, had her best friend coming with her and was finally leaving behind the drama of her family. The part that sucked was that she was going to a place more full with drama than the life she left behind.It was a good thing she thrived on outside drama, so long as it didn’t involve her or her secret.

    Anna
  28. The one trait that really stood out, however, was her unending optimism. Every part of her lit up with it. It put happiness in her eyes and strength in her steps.

  29. Optimism is overrated. Who needs to be happy about the shit life we have? I don’t. I’d rather hate everyone than pretend all the time. I don’t think it’s actually possible to be an optimist. Only dumb people claim to be.

    Jenni Downes
  30. It started to rain and she left the house. The puddles began to gather and she trudged through them. It was hard to say exactly how she was feeling. This wasn’t where she wanted to be, but she kept walking. It was all she could do from letting herself fall apart. Some call it optimism, she called it living.

    Alicia Rice
  31. no matter how many times things go wrong
    how many times love flies by me
    or
    how many times i wish i could go back to fix it all,
    i remain optimistic.
    because i know
    someday
    it’ll all pay off.

  32. Optimism, I’ve tried it but it didn’t make good things happen. Now I stick with pessimism… it’s safer.

    Beth
  33. The best thing in the whole wide world. It is the belief that will make you progress. Always be optimistic. Whatever happens, happens for the best. Believe and be optimistic. The attitude of optimism will make you achieve.

    Saraswathi
  34. What a great word for such a cold day. My daughter is sixty miles away, hoping to drive through thick snow. My brother has a farm and is digging out his sheep. My ex-husband (not an ogre, just tedious) is waiting for his new partner to fly over from the US. Optimism Lives!

  35. The light of optimism is a strong force for influencing the better of society. Optimism is the key to opening the mind; it is the key to happiness. And happiness is what the world needs.

    Jeff Valeros
  36. the option to believe
    in the way of lightness of being
    finding in optimism a lightness
    that directs the being
    toward light

  37. Her optimism was rare. But she loved him, it was simple as that. “One day,” she thought “One day he and I will have our fairytale. I love him.” She picked up her robe from the floor and climbed back into bed with the one she loved. Little did she know, he loved her more than she knew.

  38. I am alive! The life in me flows around, above and beyond and will continue with me as I live. I must go further, do more, I will not let these weights of hate, of mistakes, of illness, drag me down! Instead I will sail the seas of Life, of Joy and Her stormy weather with them as my ballast, my help, my lessons learnt!

  39. it is very good for everyone to keep optimism in our lives. be optimistic and everything will seem easier to do. it will help you see the full part of the glass and will keep you walking. think positive

  40. There’s a possibility, however faint, that the zombies knew she was there.
    Judging by the groaning and banging, it was probably more than a slight chance. A door broke, off to the side, spraying glass and debris.
    But hey. Was that a back door? Perfect.
