With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, `Studs, you`re an optimist.` I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what`s the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven.
Why are we born? We`re born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we`re born and we die? We`re born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.
When you become part of something, in some way you count. It could be a march; it could be a rally, even a brief one. You`re part of something, and you suddenly realize you count. To count is very important.
We use the word `hope` perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: `I hope it`s a nice day.` `Hopefully, you`re doing well.` `So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.`
