Три цитаты про оптимизм, морали не будет 1. "I have to think that I have some kind of inside track on this problem. That is, I have some sort of talent that the other guys aren’t using, or some way of looking, and they are being foolish not to notice this wonderful way to look at it. I have to think I have a little better chance than the other guys, for some reason. I know in my heart that it is likely that the reason is false, and likely the particular attitude I’m taking with it was thought of by others. I don’t care; I fool myself into thinking I have an extra chance." - Ричард Фейнман 2. "I have been so optimistic that I believed I could create a better kernel than anybody else, you have to be a bit too optimistic at times to make a difference." - Линус Торвальдс 3. Известно, что бизнесмены склонны переоценивать свои способности и шансы своей фирмы на успех. "However, there may also be benefits associated with extreme optimism. It may thereby become easier to make the great time commitments observed here. (Recall that the median entrepreneur was devoting more than 60 hours per week to the business.) Thus, buoyed by optimism he or she may work to make the entrepreneurial decision turn out right and, in doing so, may actually increase prospects for success. In addition, optimism may help the entrepreneur to avoid discouragement and to find ways to overcome the many problems which often arise." - A. C. Cooper; C. Y. Woo; W. C. Dunkelberg (1988) Entrepreneurs' perceived chances for success
