I imagined it was far better to be optimistic, to proceed assuming wherever you could that you had cared enough, that you'd made a difference, that you would again. Dwelling on the worst was no way to live.

About This Quote

You can choose to be hopeful and optimistic about the future, but at the same time, you can be prepared for the worst to happen. It’s like having a parachute. You don’t need to jump out of an airplane because you have a parachute. However, if you jump out without one, you may not survive.
