Optimist In Adversity Gifts

"For what it's worth, I don't have sore feet anymore."

That shows business confidence.

Social distancing

"Of course this'll be a great year. The data, sales projections, customer surveys, and my mom all think so."

What the Thinker was thinking: 'I think I can...I think I can...'

"I feel like that I've been given a unique oppurtunity to speak out on issues."

'Oh for heaven's sake, you're a cow. Just eat grass and be happy.'

One man's obstacle is another man's stepping stone.

Optimist

'Don't worry about your job at the office, Sweetie. They declared bankrupty today.'

Six Thinking Hats

"I love your optimism."

"This year I resolve to embrace change."

"I've learned something in this trial. My firm needs to hire that prosecutor."

"I think I can". (train)

"Using worst case scenario as a baseline, I consider this data quite encouraging."

'Actually, my mom was the first to notice he'd lost that new boyfriend smell!'

'The good news is that from now on I belong to a very rare species. There aren't many personnel managers who create their own pink slip.'

"Well, so much for my lucky hat! I've worn it to five interviews and not ONE callback!"

Always expect the best

"Yes, we're stranded here... but think how healthier we are eating nothing but fish!"

"Don't you worry about me. I always land on my feet."

'We had no contingency plan for things going right.'

'Look, dear, they offer cloud storage for optimistic economic projections...it's called Cloud 9.'

"How am I supposed to unleash my full potential when I'm always on one?"

'Oh good! - I hate long lines!'

"I just think things will work out for the best, and by the best I mean me."

"Only four more weeks before school is out...and then we're free for the time of our lives!"

"I hate weddings. They make me feel a momentary lapse of cynicism."

Highway of Life. Bump. Bump. Bump. Bump. Bump.

'Wow, that is a really big goal!'

Pollyanna, the Hamster

Doug reasoned that things could be worse...but just how much worse...he wasn't sure??

"Today stocks rose on the news that 'down' is a temporary state of mind."

"Oh, don't mind us... We just want to make sure it's really dead."
