I keep moving ahead, as always, knowing deep down inside that I am a good person and that I am worthy of a good life.

— Jonathan Harnisch

People who are too optimistic seem annoying. This is an unfortunate misinterpretation of what an optimist really is. Usage of all options available, no matter how limited. As such, an optimist always sees the big picture. How else to keep track of all that’s out there? An optimist is simply a proactive realist. Choices.When bobbing for apples, an idealist endlessly reaches for the best apple, a pessimist settles for the first one within reach, while an optimist drains the barrel, fishes out all the apples and makes pie.Annoying? Yes. But, oh-so tasty!
