“You know, you have to start with hope...you don't get anywhere in this country without hope. So it's a necessity. What Barack says is that people have to understand hope isn't just blind optimism. It isn't passive. It isn't just sitting there waiting for things to get better. Hope is the vision that you have to have. It's the inspiration that moves people into action...There are more people engaged in this political process in this year than we've seen in my lifetime. And it is all because of hope because people believe in the possibility of something unseen.” PeopleKnowsYearsBelieveCountryInspirationActionMovingPoliticalWaitingProcessVisionPossibilitySittingOptimismBlindLifetimeBarackGet BetterEngagedPassiveUnseenWithout HopeBlind Optimism Author:Michelle Obama
“To determine whether or not you have the ingredients to be charismatic, answer the following questions: What are your real feelings about who you are? What do you believe in? Do you have goals or a mission in life? Do you project optimism? Do others turn to you for leadership? Noncharismatic people spend their lives auditioning for others and hoping they'll be accepted. Charismatic people don't doubt their ability to add value to a situation, so they move forward with their mission.” PeopleBelieveRealFeelingsMovingValuesTurnsGoalAbilityAnswersSituationDoubtProjectsOptimismWho You AreAddDetermineFollowingMissionsAcceptedMoving ForwardIngredientsCharismaticMissions In LifeReal Feelings Book:You Are the Message: Getting What You Want by Being Who You Are Source: You Are the Message: Getting What You Want by Being Who You Are
