Effective decision-making can be seen as an optimal link between memory of the past, ground-realities of the present and insights of the future.

“Doubles play for sure is number one and I blame myself for that. We didn't walk in with optimal physical and mental strength.”

“There's a bit more optimism in terms of the growth outlook beyond the fourth quarter. That's going to support higher yields.”

Life is short let go of ego, entitlement, resentment, hate, doubt. Hold on to positivity, gratitude, optimism, hope, love.

Be optimistic like a flower. A flower never loses her optimism, and will bloom with all of her beauty despite tremendous adversity.

I envied Lesley her unshakable optimism. She always looked on the bright side of things. If they Had a bright side.

Technology will mirror the culture and the psychology creating it. We need new psychological scaffolding to work with. Less fear and more optimism.

Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.

“That is a big and complex code. If you take problems like finding the optimal shape for common automotive and aircraft structures, you have to somehow find the shape that has the least weight but at the same time won't break. We call that process shape optimization or topology optimization. These shapes have holes in them for bolting them in place or to reduce their weight. You have to decide whether to have one hole or two holes or 10 holes in a part, exactly where to put those holes and how to shape the holes.”

Optimism is a deadly vice of gigantic proportions lodged into the human psyche by Satan. It is the enemy of reality. We see a bad situation and optimism prevents us from extrapolating that. Instead we think, "Oh, it's bound to get better." So we plunge into the thicket, sure that it will thin, denied the aerial view that would show us the true, unacceptable horror of our lot. Perhaps optimism is good for prison escapees, who have no choice but to plod on. The rest of us are not well served. It poisons our judgment.
