Optimistic Ager T-Shirts

"So, we look to the fourth quarter as a time of healing."

That shows business confidence.

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.'

"I used to drink to forget. Now, age-related, short-term memory loss takes care of that for me."

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

Six Thinking Hats

"I love your optimism."

"This year I resolve to embrace change."

"Raymond's prospects look good, Daddy. . . He's pretty sure he's picked all six lotto numbers!"

"I can't stay in this hospital bed too long. Everyone will think I'm too old...too fragile...ready for the home. I'm not ready for that!"

"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!'

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

'I'm fighting ageing.'

Always expect the best

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

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

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

'Oh good! - I hate long lines!'

'I'll grow old gracefully when I want to and not any sooner.'

'Wow, that is a really big goal!'
