Problems
tempt people to give up, forget it, and chase the next enticing rainbow. But stop the effort too soon, and by definition it is a failure.

The positive outlook that optimists project does not come from ignoring or denying
problems
. Optimists simply assume that
problems
are temporary and can be solved, so optimists naturally want more information about
problems
because then they can get to work and do something. Pessimists are more likely to believe that there is nothing they can do anyway, so what's the point of even thinking about it?

Pessimists see
problems
as stemming from stable and universal causes, thus making them less susceptible to corrective action. Optimists, in contrast, view
problems
as temporary and resulting from specific factors that will either change or be changed.

Quote of the day
Nothing is impossible in this world. Firm determination, it is said, can move heaven and earth. Things appear far beyond one's power, because one cannot set his heart on any arduous project due to want of strong will.
