    I think hope is a great thing, but I also think that for many people, it’s important to recognize the possibility that good things could happen. Sometimes it’s enough to recognize that the odds are low, but they’re definitely not zero.

      Hope is great as long as you don’t try to summon it. “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”. Hope comes naturally when you’re trying to do things that you can actually believe have a chance of doing something that matters to you. Its absence is a warning, a signal to change your behavior to something that does work.
