How to escape the cynicism trap | Jamil Zaki

TED Business

NOTE

Cynicism and Optimism

Just like ocean and lake fishermen, these people did not start out any different. Just reading one essay turn some of them into new optimists and others into new cynics. This shaped how they acted and their effect on other people. If cynical stories can become self fulfilling, our work shows that hopeful ones can as well. Now this is a part of the talk where i'm supposed to tell you how i cured my own cynicism. was wild. But we can all choose tho tell different story. We can be sceptical, demanding evidence before we believe in people, but hopeful knowing they can change for the better. And invision systems built on that kindness.
