Optimism is not something that one is born with, but instead a learned skill that anyone of any age can learn.  A study done by the University of Pittsburgh showed that optimistic women were fourteen percent more likely to live longer than pessimistic women of the same age.  Likewise, men who were optimistic at the age of twenty-five were much healthier at age fifty than those who were pessimistic at age twenty-five were at age fifty.  Once again, studies have also proven that those who are optimistic in life have less stress, therefore making fewer visits to a doctor.  Out of all of the oldest living people in the world, researchers have determined that optimism is the common unifying factor.  Although optimism has various health benefits, it also provides a certain type of likability that cannot be replaced and will get you far in life.  Likeability and optimism go hand in hand, especially in the workplace.  Optimism has been proven over and over again by researchers, therapists, and universities to be critically important in our lives.  Numerous health and social benefits follow this old yet uncommon way of thinking.
