Tatyana's post is kind of funny because it's such a perfect example of the kind of attitude hohoyumyum talks about at the beginning of her original post. It's sort of like one of those fights where you yell at your husband that he disagrees with every single thing you say and he yells back, "No, I don't!". It drives you crazy but but you just have to laugh.
And I agree with you both. It's certainly true as hhyy says, that "Optimism and determination doesn't necessarily mean one hasn't endured hardship." In fact, I would go further and argue that it's only when one has endured hardship that one truly discovers determination.
As for optimism, it continually amazes me how many people on these Boards suffer terribly and yet get up every morning and keep going, keep hoping for themselves, and - even more remarkably - keep offering support, encouragement, and hope to others here.
Thanks for a most positive post, hohoyumyum.
