Optimism

"If you've ever seen the look on somebody's face the day they finally get a job -- I've had some experience with this -- they look like they could fly. And it's not about the paycheck. It's about respect. It's about looking in the mirror and knowing that you've done something valuable with your day. And if one person could start to feel this way, and then another person, and then another person, soon all these other problems may not seem so impossible. You don't really know how much you can do until you stand up and decide to try."

  4. Arden: No, didn't like Julia. Convince me why I should.

    Lovestrong: Andrew Shepherd maybe. I'm going to do a post on Laine Hanson (Joan Allen in The Contender) soon.
