Edited and adapted from Helen Keller’s essay on optimism. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt : Let it be remembered that the world’s philosophers — the Sayers of the Word — were optimists; so also are the men and women of action and achievement—the Doers of the Word. No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. The optimist believes, attempts, achieves. They stand always in the sunlight. Some days the wonderful, the inexpressible, arrives and shines upon them, and they are there to welcome it. The soul of the optimist meets its own and beats a glad march to every new discovery, every fresh victory over difficulties, every addition to human knowledge and happiness. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
