Optimism is a mental attitude or world view. A common idiom used to illustrate optimism versus pessimism is a glass with water at the halfway point, where the optimist is said to see the glass as half full and the pessimist sees the glass as half empty.
The term is originally derived from the Latin optimum, meaning "best". Being optimistic, in the typical sense of the word, is defined as expecting the best possible outcome from any given situation. This is usually referred to in psychology as dispositional optimism. It thus reflects a belief that future conditions will work out for the best.
Theories of optimism include dispositional models, and models of explanatory style. Methods to measure optimism have been developed within both theoretical systems, such as various forms of the Life Orientation Test, for the original definition of optimism, or the Attributional Style Questionnaire designed to test optimism in terms of explanatory style.
Variation in optimism and pessimism is somewhat heritable and reflects biological trait systems to some degree. It is also influenced by environmental factors, including family environment, with some suggesting it can be learned. Optimism may also be linked to health.

Going through a life of sorrow
Seems like a gift today
No repeating 'till tomorrow
That's what you always say
Got some chains and ropes to tie me
Sure got some good advice
There's no need so don't deny me
Desire got it's price
No morality tonight cause
I'm fine - I'm fine - it's nice
It's alright
As long as we don't stop messing around
And sure we are
Allowed to find our fun in being profound
It's alright
As long as we don't stop messing around
The world has turned
We hurt ourselves without losing ground
Going through a life of sorrow
Seems like a gift today
No reflections of tomorrow
That's what you always say
A bitter sweet forbidden romance
Yes we can still be friends
Please do not forget these moments
It's just the way we dance
Do not forget these moments
Drowned in drugs and violence
It's alright
As long as we don't stop messing around
And sure we are
Allowed to find our fun in being profound
It's alright
As long as we don't stop messing around
The world has turned
We hurt ourselves without losing ground
It took me so long
So many days were fading in realising
That we're somewhere in between
It took me so long
So many days were fading in realising
That I miss the way we've been
It's alright
As long as we don't stop messing around
And sure we are
Allowed to find our fun in being profound
It's alright
As long as we don't stop messing around
The world has turned
