CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the study

            Hope turns out to be success. Hope is an emotion with cognitive and extra-rational. An act of looking forward to something we desire or wanted can be had that events will turn out for the best, and an assurance in a positive outcome related to circumstances in one’s life. A feeling of expectancy to possible future honor or something to motivate. Hope is settled in early trust experiences and may be influenced by external or collaborative control belief. According to psychologist, work on hope falls into two categories; philosophical and literary works which accentuate the emotional, spiritual, and existential aspects of hope. (http://Wikipedia/wiki/Hope)

People with self-esteem are highly possible to get jobs and have a good career in the future. A belief of what you have, and will is promoted to be fitted in a bright future. Link between hope and happiness is thus very much in a sense of self-worth. Experts have looked a lot at all kinds of cognitive biases to do with the future. People tell themselves things will work out even though it’s not. Adding that hope activates circuits that can make an individual feel more open, creative and calm. People motivate action and effects thought and behavior  People who received the hope intervention were more likely diligent than who didn't show greater levels of hope. People with hope are more likely to succeed for it gives something to live for, to strive for and to hope for. (www.gainhope.com/hope/hope-health)

 Trait hope may function as disposition that accelerates successful adaptation to serious life events. According to Dr. Snyder, A person with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to attain them succeed. One who has perception of goal has the most possible outcome to success. (www.gainhope.com/hope/hope-health)

       There are some who fails because they don’t have any purpose and sense of direction. Particularly the less fortunate people. They neglect developing skills and refuse winning their support. People who Lack of confidence and self-belief to pursue their dreams persistently are commonly the ones who fails. They get not enough chance to succeed for they do not take advantage of a lifelong learning and improvement unlike those who are desperately working hard to succeed.

        Several psychologists refer to hope and optimism as positive illusions. These two universal virtues are based in belief and positive outcome. However, optimism and hope are difficult to distinguish because they are not identical. Optimism is a mental attitude that thinks only for the best. It is described by psychologists as a belief in good outcomes and is related to ego.  Hope is an emotion but it does not mean that it is easier to handle. It is also hard to control for it consists of emotions and become universal in nature. They see hope as a goal course thinking that causes emotions. As Snyder (1989) observes, hope is more consistently viewed as a means of reality negotiation. Hope has more of an element of desire, while Optimism has more element of confidence. Nevertheless, both are considered as positive outcomes and forces of good.
