You’re not responsible for their self development. This is a morale thing.

Trust me it’s easier to pick yourself up for the whole team than it is for just yourself.

Maybe next time you ride the bus, imagine that you’re a background character in someone else’s struggle, and how you hold yourself will be absorbed by their subconscious. Maybe just by holding yourself the right way, you can make everyone on the bus just slightly more ready for the day.

Who is stopping you from taking a break? My hot take is just a general recommendation, especially for people you love.

Optimists are aspirational. The placebo effect is real, and pessimists use it counterproductively.

1. I like useful delusions.
2. If you are optimistic for others you ancourage them to do stuf. Doing some stuff that may not work is 100000% better than watching Netflix/TV. Especially in current nihilistic social climate.
3. Pessimist and optimist are both right (not my quote)
4. Example: Pessimist: I will not get this job -> So I will not even apply -> 0% chance of getting a job -> 100% correct Optimist: I will get this job -> I apply and prepare -> 20% chance of getting this job -> 20% correct But who cares if you are correct. What matters is taking a chance. This comes way more useful if you are optimistic every day. So you apply for a job whenever there is a chance. And if you apply for 10 jobs from initial 20% you get 89% chance to get a good job.

Being naive is not the same as being optimistic.
