Optimism is the hope for a better tomorrow. It is to believe that one day the bad will go and there will be lots of room for the good. With optimism, you can learn to smile and be happy because your inner soul keeps reminding you that tomorrow will be better.
Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage. ~ Nicholas Butler

Optimism is trust that things will get better no matter how bad they seem, looking for the best aspects of any situation, and the belief that good will inevitably triumph over evil.
An optimist looks at a rose and ignores the thorns. A pessimist focuses on the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

Used when to describe something you are referring to without actually letting the adjective you want to use be known. Means simply, a good thing or a bad thing. Used in many ways. It takes skill.

"OMG, did you see that hot guy just walk by? OPTIMAL."
