Hope is the fuel of life

Humans are emotional animals - well so are most other animals. But what makes humans special is that our brain has evolved to be able to have multiple emotions, correlate those emotions, put them together and create a complete picture. One of those emotions is HOPE. Hope is a very powerful positive word.

Hope has a positive connotation too. Hope drives humans to get going. Hope makes us look forward to something. Hope gets us excited. Hope is the basic ingredient in motivation. Hope makes us take the positive steps in the right direction. Hope makes things possible. Hope plays a strong role in innovation. It was the hope of exploring moon that made man motivated and start working towards the moon landing. Hope of making an electric bulb motivated Edison to look for ways of creating a bulb that changed our lives forever. It was the hope of finding a better solution to web searching that resulted in Sergey Brin and Larry Page finding better web searching algorithms and found Google which changed how we interact with the web completely.

Hope also makes you look for positive things and positive outcomes in life and allows you to look beyond the failures and the immediate barriers that you see in the road.

Take hope out and there is nothing left in human life. Without hope there is nothing to look forward to. Without hope, life becomes hopeless, generates lack of motivation, and makes life dark and bleak. If you don't have hope, you don't have anything to look forward to, nothing to get excited about, nothing to motivate you, and without the excitement and motivation there is no moving forward, no progress. Going to moon was never going to be easy and if we had lost hope at the fatal Apollo 1 accident - we would have never made an attempt, Apollo 11 would have never happened. It was hope that allowed us to continue on our path for moon exploration.

So never loose hope.

Hope gets us
Excited which makes us
Love and become passionate which generates
Positive thinking.
