Optimistic for the new year?

Time for confidence

The New Year lies before us like a blank sheet of paper, pure and white. We can now choose which stories we fill it with: happy or sad, loving or resentful.
I recently read these lines somewhere. Even if they sound cheesy, there is still a grain of truth (as in almost every calendar saying).

No, the world is not perfect and life certainly isn’t. But the turn of the year is always a time of hope for a better future. That’s why I advocate not looking to the future in a “cool” way, but rather optimistically with all my heart. Because a little confidence never hurt anyone.

Time for realism

“Optimism is a lack of information,” said the German playwright Heiner Müller. That’s a sentence that makes it easy to live by. You think everything will get better soon? Then you should read more newspapers. I promise, it will You’re already losing your optimism.

Please do not misunderstand me, this is not a plea for a pessimistic view of the world, but rather a plea for healthy realism. You don’t get rid of facts by ignoring them (Aldous Huxley). When the optimist looks back, he often has to admit with disappointment: “I imagined it differently.” The realist, on the other hand, then states with satisfaction: “I told you so straight away.”
