Lights

“A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds;

it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities 

that were somehow absent before the change.

“these lights are so bright. white lights in the night. they keep me from sleeping, 

but i am still dreaming. i dream of your smile. i remember your kiss. in the light of the night.”

 

 

“An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture, 

whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist, however,

is one who sees the light and the shadows, but in addition sees something else:

the possibility of changing the picture, of making the lights prevail over the shadows.”
