Optimism can be defined as a positive approach in life. It is a distinct personality trait that can only be found in a few people. It is a mental state in which one believes that the conclusion of a particular task or result will be positive or beneficial. The analogy of a glass half-filled with water is a widely used idiom for demonstrating optimism over pessimism in a basic manner and because of this, an optimistic person is said to see the glass as half full in this situation, while a pessimist sees it as half empty.
