Playful Optimist Mugs

"Room for bigger presents!"

"I don't know what all the fuss is about. A recession sounds like fun."

That shows business confidence.

"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.

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."

'It's a zen diaphragm.'

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

"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!"

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

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

Always expect the best

'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.'

'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?"

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

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

'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."
