Optimism is the hope for a better tomorrow. It is to believe that one day the bad will go and there will be lots of room for the good. With optimism, you can learn to smile and be happy because your inner soul keeps reminding you that tomorrow will be better.

Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage. ~ Nicholas Butler

Something that British people have seen as incomprehensible.

reckless optimism

It means to recognize and accept that certain things and circumstances are shit and super hard to get through. And there are a lot of things to feel negative about and you have to allow yourself to process that negativity and then choose optimism over negativity.

"YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE TO HAVE RECKLESS OPTIMISM DESPITE PERCEIVING IT TO BE A HOPELESS SITUATION." -Hannah Hart

optimism

Optimism is trust that things will get better no matter how bad they seem, looking for the best aspects of any situation, and the belief that good will inevitably triumph over evil.

An optimist looks at a rose and ignores the thorns. A pessimist focuses on the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
