Optimism:
The capacity to maintain an upbeat attitude, even during times of difficulty. Optimistic
people are hopeful in terms of everyday life. Optimism can be thought of as resiliency: how we respond to life's
setbacks. The opposite of this is pessimism, which can bring on despair and hopelessness.
