Thought for the week:  "Martin Seligman, the Happiness Professor, has revealed that optimism is the most important quality you can develop for personal and professional success and happiness. It transpires that optimists have four characteristics, all learned through repetition and practice. Firstly, they see the good in all situations. Secondly,  they seek the valuable lesson to be learned in each situation. Thirdly, they seek solutions. Fourthly, optimists think and talk continually about their goals."
