Optimism

Lior Dery
What it means?

Optimism is the ability to see the positive in every situation, with the unwavering belief that everything will work out for the best.

Why it matters?

Though I am not an optimist by nature, over the years I’ve learned how much power there is in being optimistic. In complex or difficult situations, being optimistic can be a person’s only source of hope that keeps them going.
I am privileged to be surrounded by people who see the world positively, and I was surprised to find how their optimism has had a positive effect on me.

How can we promote it?

In honor of Israel’s 75th Independence Day, I want to encourage us all to be more optimistic – to listen, to be open to different viewpoints, and to choose to see the silver lining even in tough times.
