Optimism
“Thou hast seen nothing yet.”
-Cervantes (1547-1616) Don Quixote
“You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
-Jimmy Durante (1893-1980) Entertainer. His signature line.
“You ain’t heard nothin’ yet.”
-Al Jolson (1886-1950) His signature line.
What is ahead for us? We don’t know for sure, but we do know there is still a lot to be experienced. We can look forward with optimism. Studies have shown that optimists live longer, healthier, happier lives. We can choose to see the glass as half-full, and as wholly satisfying. Think today’s going to be a good day? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
