Optimism

It turns out we are engineered for pessimism rather than optimism.

A recent survey of 250 CEOs and board members revealed a stunning lack of confidence among corporate leaders regarding their ability to manage simultaneous, massive global disruptions.

One group is excited for its potential; the other is fearful.

Maybe I was onto something when I was sharing the Flintstones and Jetsons idea on stage.

Life is going to throw curveballs at you—that's a guarantee. You'll have big wins and moments that feel like a total letdown. The secret is not to let those letdowns define you.

As a futurist, I can't tell you your future will suck! I wouldn't get a lot of repeat bookings!" I have to force myself to be optimistic.
