What is hope?
Well, according to Wikipedia,
hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one’s life and the world at large.
Hope is one of the hardest things to have in the world. It’s something that is very important and no human being can live without it, but the truth is that the various hardships and disappointments we face in life almost makes it impossible to keep our hope alive. It’s the hope in our hearts that makes us stand up every morning, go out and struggles hard to achieve our dreams. Hope is what keeps people going even in seemingly impossible situations.
In my country, one of our former ministers, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had to carry her younger sibling on her back for many kilometers to escape the civil war. The hope for safety endowed her with a strength that she ordinarily would have not had and she got her and her sibling to safety. If she had lost hope and accepted her supposed she, she and her sibling would have probably died. JK Rowlings’ manuscript for Harry Potter was rejected 12 times, even under a different pen name before it was finally accepted by Bloomsbury. According to legend Walt Disney had his idea for Disney World rejected 302 times before it was finally accepted. Do you know how hard it is to try something over and over again 302 times?. That hope and belief in their dreams has brought them worldwide acclaim. Their hope made them keep trying, keep fighting and now, look at what they have achieved.
Don’t give up your hope no matter what. If the world tries to shout you down, shout back louder. If you get knocked down, dust yourself off, start over again and make sure you reach the top. Never give up hope or you might as well have given up life.
