Optimists are those who go after Moby Dick in a row boat with a bucket of tartar sauce. – Zig Ziglar First off, nobody beats Zig for deep truth delivered well. Second, the key take-away here (I humbly suggest) is that the Optimist is one who takes (intelligent/bold/authentic/useful/necessary/game-changing) action. So many people pooh-pooh optimism and…
