What makes me feel hopeful is the everyday kindness of strangers.
Yesterday someone went out of his way to let me know I was in the
wrong half of the train, which saved me hours!

I am generally a sceptical man. However, education, in the widest
sense of that word, is the exception to the rule. I believe that it
enriches lives: it entertains; it makes us more cultured; it gives us
better career opportunities and, most importantly, it teaches us to
value views that differ from our own. In other words, it teaches
tolerance and these days, just as much as in the past, that is what we
need.

I am hopeful about the future because I believe the future is in our
hands. Life is what we make it in a sense that we have given the
freedom of choice even the very beginning of our lives. Our choice
today will affect our tomorrow and tomorrow is our future.

It is such a difficult task to tell some 'don't worry, be happy,' - to a student whose siblings are all either underemployed or unemployed,
to a lad/lass who's lost their parents and siblings at war, to someone who seemed to have inherited poverty in the midst of plenty, and
can’t afford a single meal a day, etc. In the midst of deprivation, I still believe that there is always a silver lining in every cloud and that
my present situation doesn't determine my future. To be hopeful is to be optimistic and a clinical and awe-inspiring figure that keeps me
hopeful is Abraham Lincoln who never gave up in his political career. More importantly, the belief in a supernatural that guides my
thoughts, actions and words and intervenes at the appointed time, not when I want.
