Friendly Greetings from Japan!
May I offer you a 5-star rave to your consistent blogs as above!
It’s amazing you constantly apply what you preach as the “5 Common Sense” approach to whatever topic you coose to write up on, and deliver your good sense, really!
It’s a pleasure for me, someone here in Japan to be able to read up on your energizing and uplifting pieces fully covering your 5-Common Sense wisdom.
Keep on doing, will ya?! And, thanks for your great efforts as ever,

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it. Yes — it is less sexy to be an optimist, but it pays off in the long run. Pessimists seldom accomplish very much.
All the best,

Wow. Wow. I love your unabashed optimism. It’s refreshing and I agree 100% with your spin on Bierce’s quote. I think it is less “sexy” to be optimistic than pessimistic, brooding, cynical. I’m not a Pollyanna but I do tend (not always…geez, I’m human) to see the best in people particularly.
Lovely. I’ll be tracking back but can’t right this moment.

I am an optimist. Every morning I rise and first consider what my competition can do to overcome my work at my properties and at http://www.occupancy100.com and to weaken the success fo http://www.occupancy100.com/blog.
Immediately after this, I consider what I can do to overcome the competition.
I find the contest invigorating and rise stimulated everytime.
Optimism is not being rosy… Its striving for and believing in a better result than the one available.
