Optimism and Hope do Matter

Leonard Pitts: A change we can all celebrate | tallahassee.com | Tallahassee Democrat

"Optimism is fuel for the engine, wind for the wings, the single indispensable element in getting from here to there. So it is good to see it flowering once again in African-American communities, flowering as it has not in too many years. Good to know more of our children are coming of age in homes where they will be taught the future is theirs to mold and the only limitations are the ones they choose to accept.

That portends great things. People who believe they can achieve usually do."

I wish more people would spend the same energy looking for reasons to be optimistic and hopeful as they do for doom and gloom and negative news. I can't imagine waking up everyday and taking the time to purposely look for the negative - it can only set a downer tone for the day. Thanks GW!

People who are successful are the ones who think they can do something and if they don't succeed try again or try a different method.

Where you set the bar determines how high you will jump.

Very few whiners and "it's not fairs" make it big.
