Researchers from University of Pittsburgh fount out that optimistic people were:

* 30 percent less likely to die from heart disease after eight years of follow-up
* Less likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes or smoke cigarettes

* Do better at work, school and sports
* Are less depressed
* Have fewer physical health problems
* Have better relationships
