A friend of mine had his hope high some years back that he'd be a lawyer by 2013. He struggled hard to make it possible. What happened? He ended up studying "fine art" in a Nigerian university and graduated in the year 2014. At first, studying fine art was something he never imagined but he expected the best and believed he was going to be successful. Now, his master piece is worth a lot of money.
Sometimes, life gives us what we need and not what we want. Ever heard of these sayings:
"Every dark cloud has a silver lining."
"The darkest night is just before the dawn".
It's just a way of telling us how important it is to be optimistic.
Optimism is the tendency to expect the best or favourable outcome. It doesn't mean denying reality, it is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It's all about hopefulness and confidence about the future as well as success of something. The meaning of life lies in our response to the challenges we encounter. The lessons of life are essence of our existence and optimism is a promising and fulfilling way to achieve more in life.
Optimism helps you to cope with the difficulties of life. It makes you act strong even when everything is going wrong. Intel co-founder, Robert Noyce once said, "optimism is an essential ingredient of innovation. How else can an individual welcome change over security, adventure over staying in safe places".
A person who is optimistic is referred to as an "optimist". Optimists are also business promoters. They see opportunities where others see despair. They are inspiring communicators and they rally people to a better future. Optimists keep their chins up and expect roses.
Be optimistic and proclaim the best in you to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. Have a pleasant evening!
