Optimism (from the Latin optimum 'the best') is a view of life in which the world or something is seen from the best side. It generally describes a cheerful, confident and life-affirming basic attitude as well as a confident attitude determined by positive expectations with regard to the future, without there being any real certainty about it. Optimism is a person's hopeful attitude towards the temporality of their existence.
Optimism also refers to a philosophical view that the world is the best of all possible worlds, that everything in the world is good and reasonable or will develop for the better.
