The Key to Success Sylvester Stallone once voiced “I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism.” Any kind of success in this life is unattainable without optimism. Optimism should, without a doubt, be a priority. Optimism is the only thing that kept our students learning, our doctors healing, and our troops fighting, all these in hopes of a better future. Optimism is another word for faith. Optimism is just faith that things will get better no matter how bad the circumstances are. We are supposed to have faith in the fact that God has a bigger plan and part of that plan may be atrociously scary but it will turn out for the better in the end.

Being a pessimist might mean that one may never get hurt emotionally because they do not expect much, but an optimist would be grateful for the fact that someone or something could make them feel sad like that. An optimist would be thankful that something could make him or her feel so alive. Optimism gives people a reason to live. It gives people hope and meaning to life. What is life without meaning anyways? When things get tough in life pessimists are going to be the first ones to quit, while the optimists push through the tough trials to eventually get to their goal. Every champion or winner of anything always knew that they could be victorious. Even when they were down in the count or losing, they had no doubt in their minds that they
