Now to me, this illustrates the difference between optimism and delusion. That poor tortoise…he’s not flying, is he?! That’s NOT optimism. THAT’S delusion!
Optimism is viewing the glass as half full. Delusion is seeing the glass as full and never losing volume. Optimism is seeing you can make a change…having faith in yourself and your ability. Delusion is actually being crap at what you do, but with think you are best at it. (Think Donald Trump)
Sorry, little tortoise…but you’re not being optimistic. You can’t fly…unless you’re in a helicopter/plane/glider/hot air balloon. You’re being delusional…
