46. Looking on the bright side.

There is a woman who takes the same bus as I do in the mornings at least a few times a week. She never fails to say, "What wonderful weather!" - regardless of whether it's sunny, rainy, -30 degrees Celcius or hailing rats.

What a wonderful way to live your life.

"Hollywood shows people panicking, but my research shows that 9.9 times out of 10, people don't turn into crazed individuals, but behave quite rationally. They tend to help each other, too. -- The knowledge that most people react in a humanist way helps me to get in up in the morning – I come to work knowing that people tend to behave in a supportive, helpful way in emergencies, so any way we can help inform intelligent building design and disaster strategies will help them to survive."

- Ed Galea, a researcher in disasters
