Gary Blehm, The Optimist has been taking optimistic steps to spread the power of optimism and positivity since 1989 with a beret, round sunglasses, and a half moon shaped grin. The climb never ends until you give up. Never give up. Never surrender. You have so many genuine gifts to share with the world. Be positive and follow your dreams no matter what. Work hard and never let anything get in your way. Turn every discouraging defeat into positive endurance and never quit. Keep a positive mental attitude and nothing will ever stop you. - Gary Blehm, The Optimist Since 1989
