Optimism

We all admire those who are able to make the best of bad situations—to see the good in everything. Even Dennis the Menace has an optimistic streak. In a recent comic he said to his friend Joey, “One good thing about vegetables Joey, they really make the dessert taste good.” It is in the bad times that we learn to appreciate the good times.
