1. John Hamm
Optimism without grounded reality is a dream. Grounded reality without optimism is boring. People who are emotionally tough are always saying, "There's got to be a way." Business is not life-threatening; it's ego-threatening. And the people who are willing to risk their ego are emotionally tough.

2. David Landes, The Wealth and Poverty of Nations
In this world, the optimists have it, not because they are always right, but because they are positive. Even when wrong, they are positive, and that is the way of achievement, correction, improvement, and success. Educated, eye-open optimism pays; pessimism can only offer the empty consolation of being right.

3. Daniel Kahneman (PDF)
In many cases, what looks like risk-taking doesn't take courage at all; it's just unrealistic optimism. Courage is a willingness to take the risk once you know the odds; optimistic overconfidence means you are taking the risk because you don't know the odds. There's a big difference.
