But you can LEARN optimism. And why should a speaker learn optimism? And by the way, before I ever heard of Martin Seligman's concept of "Learned Optimism," I knew this was true.

  So, many will ring in the New Year with optimism - that is, if you define "optimism" as hope that equities won't crash the way the did in 1929.  It's 6:30 A.M. New York Time. The Wall Street Journal predicts the Dow will open (and, by implication) close in positive territory. Specifically, it reports: "Global stocks rose Monday …" The main reason is the easing of tensions about trade between the U.S. and China.

The New York Times is blunt: What was put out there to manage or just create the illusion of managing COVID-19 hasn't been effective. More than four months into the pandemic in the U.S., the virus retains total control. Those efforts could go down in history as The Folly of 2020. The slogans, the pressers, and the platitudes could symbolize the ultimate in human hubris, that is, arrogance. Along with that is a side show of Machiavellian public relations.

As we get older, that usually only hurts our ego. At social events, for example, those in the room tend to treat us as invisible. Ageism Bites. The extent of how age bias can harm us becomes obvious when we are seeking work. If we're fortunate, our former employer provides outplacement.
