"I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. "
~E. B. White
It's good to be optimistic. To have dreams. To have hopes. To strive for something better. To see the glass as half full.
But it's equally important to be a realist as well. Sometimes, just appreciating that you have a cup in the first place can help put things in perspective, too.
I'm not saying Wes Walker should be thankful just because he made it to the Super Bowl (but dropped the ball on a potentially game-clinching play). I'm saying he should be thankful he at least wasn't Tiquan Underwood, who got cut the eve of game.
Or maybe now after that gaffe, he's probably wishing he was.

"A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires." The fifth mountain, Paulo Coelho.
Just like the 2D paintings with a restricted colour scheme, I moved on to a secondary colour after painting pieces with the primary colours. This time, I decided to go with the cheerful yellow.
Yellow was used to represent joy and happiness in the ‘Power of Joy’, and this painting aims to exude the same emotion as well. On top of that, this painting utilises another effect of the colour yellow – optimism. The bush medicine leaves mainly represent the vat optimism and self-esteem one can have when going on in life.
The symbol in the middle is a combination of various signs across a few cultures. The horizontal line represents the horizon, showing a sign of hope. The round symbol in the middle is called the ‘Nyame Biribi Wo Soro’, a West African symbol of hope. On the whole, the symbol shows that one should be optimistic when encountered with obstacle or detour as one would get to one’s objective eventually.
On the whole, the painting shows the importance of being optimistic in life. One should take every step in life with a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity. That way, one can be sure to achieve one’s goals.

This is me! – Prasanth Chandran (Gulfu).
I am a very optimistic person who believes that charity starts from one's self and always believe that what one dream can be achieved through hard work and good luck.
For me photography is not just a passion. It runs in my vein, pumping in the juices of creativity in each of the elements that I see with my naked eyes.. www.gulfu.in

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn’t see the clouds at all – he’s walking on them.

At Queen St. West and Bay St. This gentleman was kind enough to sing to bystanders. He was one of the few bright spots in an overall gloomy day.

I welcome commentary but if you post logos/icons/photos, I may delete them.
This sign magically appeared on MLK near the baseball field.
Is it an omen predicting lower unemployment and rising wages?
Or just a comment on the proposed Mixed Use development for the 1600 block of MLK?
Around Christmas time we had some rather unusual fruit at our home - persimmons like here & watermelon radish. Both were acquired rather cheaply and more for photographing than really eating - but we made an attempt to savor as well :>)
Taken on the early hours of a Saturday morning. The sun creeping in through the foliage and the fence sits with me well, it has a particular optimistic and wishful feel to it.
A lucky image I managed. I saw about four (4) shooting stars that night and never saw this one, but it appeared in the RAW image. And if you look close you will see a trail of a possible satellite that got drowned out in processing [I may have overdone it a bit; more tinkering to this image has to be done].
This one I used Affinity Photo to eliminate some of the noise in RAW mode before doing a bit more to the image.
Make a wish, and lots of luck!

As close to freedom to as possible for these guys who were born and raised in captivity. I wish them a future in our lifetime!

Despite the public ululations and optimistic expectation of the return of most sports following the president’s green light on sports activities on Sunday, the return of pool maybe a little complicated.
The NCS recently named pool among the low-risk sports alongside archery, cycling, darts, skating athletics motorsport, swimming and skating. However, the return of pool is encountering financial complications citing the adjustments to the new normal a little hard to implement inasmuch as playing under social distancing and playing behind closed doors a walk in the park.
This financial strained has not only come recently even when the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already worse situation that caused the Pool Association of Uganda to haphazardly call off some of its activities.

Furthermore, the players have also been affected by the inadequate access to training facilities as most of them do not own personal training equipment like the tables and cues and have in the past relied on bars and clubs for training and these have since been closed following the corona outbreak. This therefore has caused serious retardation amongst most of the players. bit.ly/309YlOu
