I’m an optimist because the sun still shines every day, in spite of all the troubles and challenges we face in the world. Through simplification and a return the natural ways of past times, we can begin to bring balance and clarity back into our lives.

I have a job where I try my best to inspire others.______ ______Dominic|Parker|Dominic Parker|London|United Kingdom|health,CSR,sports,business,music|______ ______Chris|Beckett|Chris|||charity, news, travel, environment, art, culture, business, music, events|

There’s plenty that’s wrong with the world and lots we should be doing to make things better for other people. But when I travelled to Ethiopia this year, which is one of the poorest LDC countries, I was struck by how beautiful the world still is and how the poorest people around have such fighting spirit and optimism! It’s quite a surprise to be reminded that you don’t really need a lot of material possessions to be happy…

______Anna|Tagliaferro|Anna Tagliaferro|Streatham|UK|charity, health, art, culture, politics, environment, |The world is full of wonder - I want everyone to feel wonderful!______ ______Alison|Blades|Alison Blades|London|UK||I have spent my first 40 years straddling the fence between optimism and pessimism. I've decided to spend the next 40 years being resolutely optimistic because I do believe we can collectively 'do the right thing'.______ ______Jorg|Schulz-Gerchow|Jorg Schulz-Gerchow|London|UK|health, art, travel, business, news, music, politics, events, environment, media, |Because believing that good things can happen makes them happen.______ ______Peter|Stormonth|Peter|London|UK|health, sports, |

I am optimist because when you wake up in the morning hungover and the first thing you do is step on an upturned plug, you have two choices. You can either let it ruin your whole day or just get on and make the best of it.

______Emma|O Shea|Emma O Shea|Portsmouth|UK|charity, travel, music, politics, environment, |Because no matter how bad things get - there is always someone out there who has worse luck than you. And of course I consider myself one of the luckiest people in the world.______ ______Nicola|Morgan|Nicola Morgan|Cardiff|UK|charity, health, CSR, art, travel, culture, sports, business, news, music, politics, events, finance, environment, media, career, |______ ______Gareth|Kay|Gareth Kay|Boston|USA|charity, art, culture, business, news, music, politics, finance, environment, media|______

Why an Optimist:


What makes happy people happy? Our panel of Optimists share their philosophies for looking on the bright side of life.

Some of the Optimists you'll already be familiar with - authors, comedians, TV presenters - and some you won't know yet: people just like you who've got something to say and the passion to say it.

So. Get to know them all. Adopt them. Love them. Investigate their profiles, find out what makes them tick, and check out their contributions to the site.

And if you like what you see - come join us.

Register to be an optimist on the site to vote for your favourite charities and companies and upload your own stories of inspiration, whatever they might be.

In the meantime, get clicking on the profile pictures above, and start thinking optimistically.
