Topic 1: Can optimism change the way we see things? ( topic one is all about perspective.
Everyone has a different take on things; like how we may be looking at the same thing, but see
different arrays of it. Such as, having an opened mindset or a closed mindset, these are
viewpoints the majority of our population have. This way we can compare the both of them.

Topic 2: What fuels the optimism within us? ( topic 2 is more on hope, believing, surpassing the
point of trial and error. Understanding how you can improve in the future, and why and how
the mistake even happened in the first place. It’s not about others approval but about your
improvement, how we are still a growing specie. Evolving, every minute and second. Feats of
trial and error)

Topic 3: What will be the impact/ result once the optimism within you awakens? ( kind of a mix
of both topic I and 2. You’re not afraid to do things out of your comfort zone, since you will
have the courage to try. Being that, you are still growing and you will over come it with trial and
error now that you have evolved to a growth mindset)

 “Discovering the optimism within me”

How does “discovering the optimism within me” help, do we really need it in our lives to
function? We may think that optimism is not critical in our lives, however, it plays an important
role in our existence. Since if you were to live or even imagine living in a world that does not
contain optimism, everyday would be a catastrophe. Everyone would feel hopeless, there will
be nothing to look forward to, no problems to solve, no brighter future will exist, no better days
will be announced, and nobody will ever try to succeed because it will not seem possible. So,
we shall not neglect it for it has helped us surpass multiple challenges.

Topic 1: Can optimism change the way we see things?

Yes, optimism can change the way you way you see things in your life. You can compare it to a
spectacle, whether you are diagnosed as nearsighted or farsighted, by discovering the perfect
fit that suits your needs, you will be able to see clearer and beyond than what you were able to
see previously. However, it may be challenging at times, we need to view the brighter side of
things. If you were to dwell on the negative aspect of life and not see through the good that it
can offer, then you will feel restricted, trapped, and stuck. You will be digging your hole leading
to nowhere. Therefore, you need to visualize the bigger picture and grasp all the positive vibes
for somewhere out there lies something amazing!

Topic 2: What fuels the optimism within us?

Through variations of trial and error, you will be capable to see clearly the mistakes you will be
creating in the future. Do not give up! committing those errors and tears are just the
beginning…Have faith within yourself. All the hard work you put in, is going to become a ray of
light leading to a future of success. Remember, as you grow, you are building a future you
desire. It may take time, but all of it will be worth it in the end. So, believe in yourself and have
confidence! As Helen Keller once said, “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.
Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

Topic 3: What will be the impact/ result once the optimism within you awakens?

Once the optimism within you awakens, it will lead you to a path you never knew existed. You
will acquire a new perspective to the thing you see. Looking at every mistake as a chance to
learn, having genuine courage to do things that will make you feel uncomfortable. Pushing out
of your boundaries, because for you to learn more you need to grow and adapt. Having self-
trust that no matter the outcome/ result of your efforts, you know you tried your best since you
are still growing.

Conclusion: wrap it up!

From the day we were born, optimism was already inside us. The baby symbolizes optimism,
our parents were given to us as our guide. The optimism within us were meticulously planted
by our parents by hugging us, caring for us, guiding us every night to our journey to our
dreamland and reminding us every day how wonderful the world is. As an individual, I believe
that optimism will always be important and should be nourished with our values and personal
beliefs. There is no age limit when to tap the inner positivity, however, it is always better to
start early. (be stern in the last sentence!)
