I agree that being grateful is the best asset any person can have , there is always something to thank for , and life always rewards people that recognize that . Demotivation is many times an asshole and can get most of you without notice , I don't know If I'm exactly an optimist , I'm a planner and extremely stubborn when I want something , I will try plan A, then B , then C , then D.. hahaha. Have a backup for the backup! But I guess I always have that feeling that in the end ''everything will be fine'' .. I guess that makes me somehow an optimist :p !
