We Are Hopeful and Confident About the Future
Life experiences create ways of thinking and ways of seeing things. Optimism is an ‘attitude’ characterized by ‘hope’. Optimists expect things to ‘turn out well’ because they believe they have the ‘skill and ability’ to make ‘good things happen’.

• You feel that good things will happen, in the face of life’s challenges, for a brighter ‘hopeful’ future
• You feel that you are someone who can give of your time and talent for the benefit of others

Do you have the ‘skill and ability’ to make good things ‘successful’ for others as you are about your own?
If you do, consider sharing your talents and attitudes with your community through a local Optimist Club.
