I've been reading up about positive illusions after hearing about it. It basically means having a really good attitude about something....unreasonably so. It's thinking that somethings are disproportionately above average. I come across this at work all the time. My math and economics background tell me to take this optimism with a grain of salt. I am quick to discount when I hear rose-colored predictions at work.
Apparently, there's more to this. Some psychology study concluded thinking someone is great is a predictor of a good relationship. And this is a poem I want to come back and read
Love to faults is always blind,
Always is to joy inclin'd,
Lawless, wing'd, and unconfin'd,
And breaks all chains from every mind.
--William Blake
AND like some cool Yoda-mind-trick if you think something is awesome it will be even more awesome. That's kind of amazing at first, but then...duh. All that's required is thinking something is awesome.
Zahra you're awesome and you'll somehow be awesome-er tomorrow. Thank you and you're welcome:P
