>> I think everyone would agree that a hopeful attitude is a good thing. But 
>> what exactly is hope? Can it be learned? Centuries of folk wisdom and 
>> religious teaching have taught the benefits of a hopeful attitude. These 
>> days, researchers believe that hope may be associated with good health 
>> and greater success, both personally and professionally.
>>
>> But what exactly is hope? Well, according to Dr. Rick Snyder while at the 
>> University of Kansas, hope is a practical, goal-oriented attitude - a 
>> stance people assume in the face of difficulty. It combines a 
>> goal-directed determination with the ability to generate the means of 
>> reaching the goals.
>>
>> Dr. Snyder developed a test to measure hopefulness, and he found that 
>> college students who scored high in hope also turn in the best academic 
>> performance, regardless of high school grades or SAT scores. Folks who 
>> are injured or seriously ill do better when they have high hopes, too. 
>> Actor Christopher Reeve had every intention of walking again, and had he 
>> lived, I would not have been surprised to see him do so. Hope was a very 
>> large part of his being.
>>
>> The research also suggested that - all other things being equal - a 
>> hopeful attitude helps people overcome obstacles like poverty, lack of 
>> education and even lack of social support. In this latest economic 
>> downturn, it is those people with hope, who can express that hope, who 
>> will best weather their circumstances.
>>
>> Can you learn to be hopeful? You bet you can! See failure as an 
>> opportunity to learn rather than a flaw in your character, and make a 
>> habit of remembering your past successes. Break down your long-term goals 
>> into short-term sub-goals, and reward yourself for reaching them. 
>> Visualize a positive outcome for every situation, affirm yourself for all 
>> your good qualities, and no matter what happens, hang on to your hope.
