EPISODE 1 - HOPE

Hope is defined as a feeling of expectations and desire for a particular thing to happen.

Most of the theories of our life and day to day activities are based on hope. For instance, when we sleep at night, we can only hope we wake up in the morning. When we sit for tests and exams, we can't always be 100% sure we will pass or fail, even when we know we have studied and tried our best. Amidst all, something in us still hopes that the results comes out in our favor. When we go for job interviews, regardless of how sure we are of our capabilities, there's still something deep in our mind that hopes we get selected or shortlisted. When we fall sick, even when all test results points towards a different direction, we still hope we get better sooner than expected. For artisans of different skills, when we move out in the morning to work in our various businesses, we hope that there will be great sales. Also, for entrepreneurs that sets up business, even though everything might point to the success of the business, still, we hope that we should make greater profits.

The Power of hope cannot be underestimated because as silent as it is, most of our life decisions are being influenced partly by the four letter word. Marcus Tullius Cicero says that "When there's life, there's Hope", it shows how great the power of hope can be, as long as we breathe in and out. When the Power of Hope is Underestimated, fear sets in, our burning passion of positivity is fanned out by the negativity that rejections and disappointments brings. And once that happens, we are constantly staring down the barrel of depression and its likes. Funny enough, HOPE never abandons us, it's always the other way round - We abandon HOPE.

No matter how HOPELESS a situation seems, there's always a faint glint of HOPE but most times we are always too dejected to grasp the thin ray of light that the four letter word brings. No matter how stormy the night might be, we should always be positive that joy comes in the morning. No situation is completely hopeless as long as we keep breathing, but our reaction to control and manage such situations depends largely on whether we still believe in a better tomorrow or not.

HOPE IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST WEAPON, BUT HOW CAN YOU CONQUER THE BATTLES OF LIFE WITH IT?
