Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer..

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails..

Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate..

Real optimism sees the negatives but accentuates the positive..
