Optimist
An optimist is a person with a positive outlook on life. One who
characteristically looks at events or conditions with optimism. Optimism
is a mental attitude or world view that interprets situations and
events as being best (optimized), meaning that in some way for factors
that may not be fully comprehended, the present moment is in an optimum
state. The concept is typically extended to include the attitude of hope
for future conditions unfolding as optimal as well.
A person who takes advantage of opportunities as and when they arise, regardless of planning or principle.A person who maximizes his/her benefit in every action he/she takes.
The opportunist sees an opportunity in every difficulty, and Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity and optimism
