Optimistic Attitude

Today, 9th of May is the Victory Day, traditionally a big holiday in Russia and all former soviet republics. They and their families and friends are celebrating willpower, hope and love that helped people of the WWII period to fight Nazis. I know some of these people, who have had difficult young years. They should have being enjoying this life, fall in love and be happy as every 15 or 16 years old nowadays. But instead they have had to experience all the horrors of the war. The point I wanted to make here is their strong belief to win the war and overwhelming optimistic attitude. When I start to worry about things in my life, pretend the worse and see no way out, I think about that brave people that every day of their life lived as their last day, concentrated on one aim and believing in its positive result. Would they get upset or cry if they have my “problems”? Sure, not. They knew how to distinguish life questions from silly worries; they knew what they should be frightened of and how to praise every moment of life. Something for us to take a good example of.
