Somebody that tries to discourage people from seeing every negative thing that could happen down the road somewhere and focus on the positive is someone that doesn't want you to see or know their true intentions. Never trust someone that pushes people to be overly optimistic about something that nobody has a good reason to be optimistic about.
Why should people trust someone that tells them to be optimistic as long they have gotten a vaccine, worn a mask, or done everything else they've been ordered to do in the past year? Things aren't going to get better, but that sounds good, so it keeps most people in line with their agenda.

Get the optimistic mug.Literal: Characterised by or reflective of a positive outlook on the future, believing that the best possible outcome will happen.
Contextual: When you've got more faith in your startup's future than a kid in a candy store. It's the entrepreneurial spirit that sees the glass as not just half full, but overflowing, no matter how many investors say otherwise.

This balance ensures they're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. They celebrate their optimism, but their strategy meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for unexpected challenges.
