He adds in his audio clip that: ”It stuck in my head for the past 16 or 17 years, from college days. One day it was raining outside and I was in the cafeteria.

”This lady Ernestine, she was checking me out. She was known to be the optimist on campus. She’d be like ‘Hey boo how you doing?’.

”She came up to me and I told her it was raining outside, I wasn’t feeling so well, kind of crappy. She then told me this.

”Then I paused, and I smiled, thinking it was a totally new, cool way of looking at things. And I remember walking away with my food tray in my hands thinking this phrase over and over.”
