i feel like spanish is inherently more positive than english.  it comes out in the different meanings of words..  

for example, "to wait" in english has sort of negative connotations.. 

waiting rooms, waiting in line, waiting on someone, in the sense of serving them. 

in spanish, esperar,  "to wait", also means "to hope for".  

it's got a much more positive feeling.  

also, the word for "retirement" is jubilación..   (like, you know, jubilation) 

ju bil ation! 

(it's a great word, even in english)
