"As an engineer, I am optimistic because my primary function is to solve problems - and I believe each problem has a solution. As an advocate for women and social justice, I am optimistic because progress, although it comes sometimes in fits and starts with obstacles along the way, is unstoppable."
That's what Jill Tietjen told me when I asked what makes her optimistic.
Jill is an Author, International Speaker, Women's Advocate, and Electrical Engineer and lives in Greenwood Village, Colorado, USA.
The inspiring Jill has also asked us, "speaking of resilience and optimism, what if we banished “I can’t” from our lives? What if we replaced “I can’t” instead with “I can,” “I will,” “I’m going to right away”?"
What makes you optimistic?
