In this episode of "How I Met Your Mother" I really enjoyed the optimism.  It showed how if you keep dreaming and believing in yourself that you can accomplish anything.  I mean do not get me wrong, a person cannot be positive and optimistic all the time, but this episode is telling you not to give up.  I believe that is the main purpose of the show.  Another thing I think this episode is about is how a group of friends grow and change together through out the years.  I hope that I will be lucky enough to have life long friends like the three of them are.  This episode gives me hope for the future and is telling me not to give up on something that I want.  One thing I did not like was how Barney used girls just for their bodies,  I do not believe that is right.  However,  I am glad that he eventually found a girl and he realized that he wanted an actual relationship with her.   This show makes me want to get a group of close friends together and start a tradition of some kind, just like they did.  Maybe that could be something that keeps me and my friends together.  Overall, I enjoyed the show an I had never seen it before.  It has comidy Dan a deeper meaning that you don't even realize you are getting.   That to me is always a good show.
