I tend to be
a very optimistic person.
Some people try to frame
that as a negative,
calling me naive
or unworldly
or ignorant.
They believe
being a ‘realist’
is essential for success.
I think they’re wrong.
If I was a ‘realist’,
I would have never
published my first romance novel.
The competition
in the industry
is fierce.
There are millions of books
published every year.
Only an optimist
would believe her books
would find a readership
in that aggressive of a market.
Yet mine did.
A realist would
never start a business
because most businesses
fail.
That’s why business builders,
heck, that’s why
people who change
the world
tend to be optimists.
We’re essential to the health
of the economy
and to the health
of the human race.
Deborah Wahl,
CMO of
Cadillac,
shares
“I am an eternal optimist.
I like to see what’s possible
and say that
we can create that future.
If you can envision it,
you can make something
amazing happen.”
Embrace your optimism.
Protect it.
