AI overview
Optimism is the tendency to expect positive outcomes and to see situations in a favorable light, often illustrated by viewing a glass as "half full" rather than "half empty." It matters because how optimistic or pessimistic people are can shape their attitudes, decisions, and overall outlook on life.
