I've always admired optimism and it has pretty much been a staple in my bag of tricks but, as I watch younger folks charge headlong into very questionable actions that would appear to deserve more consideration (and perhaps) trepidation, based almost solely on their belief that "it" will work out and I begin here in my advanced years to question my optimism. Should I be more cynical? I've seen my share of cons and dishonest people so cynicism is not hard for me to inject into my analysis but...... How do I now balance my skepticism with my natural optimism to make valid decisions?, particularly when dealing with the natural optimism of youth? A skill that I still must master!
