I am not an optimist, but a great believer of hope.

Nelson Mandela
About This Quote

Optimism is the belief that things will usually turn out for the best. It is not necessarily an expectation of the best outcome, but rather a positive outlook on life. Optimism can be dangerous because it can lead to unrealistically high expectations. People who are too optimistic may suffer from disappointment, especially when they fail to live up to their own expectations. On the other hand, optimists have a better chance of seeing the bright side of life and picking up the pieces when challenges arise.
