"Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, itâ€™s unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume that thereâ€™s no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, thereâ€™s a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours."

-- Noam Chomsky
