It's easy and natural to focus on what's not going well.

"It's human nature to zero in on threats: evolution wired us to worry about the animals that want to eat us," Gates wrote in a column in Time magazine about his optimism in January.

Also, humans are increasingly impatient with problems.

Importantly, focusing on what is working does not mean you pretend everything is perfect, of course.
 

"I'm not trying to downplay the work that remains. Being an optimist doesn't mean you ignore tragedy and injustice," Gates writes in Time.

Instead, use your critical thinking to understand what is working, notice that and figure out how you can improve and accelerate the success.

Being an optimist, he told Time, "means you're inspired to look for people making progress on those fronts, and to help spread that progress more widely."
