Optimism is the key to growth, strategy, innovation and business formation. Last year, I wrote about [Singapore President Tharman's concern about the collapse of optimism in the Western world](https://www.centreforoptimism.com/blog/tharmanshanmugaratnam?hsLang=en). This morning, I read another interesting piece by [Franklin Templeton](https://www.linkedin.com/company/franklin-templeton/)'s Chris Peel on [his investment team's search for "Pockets of Pessimism."](https://www.franklintempleton.com/articles/2024/equity/hunting-for-pockets-of-pessimism) What's your view?  I would like to spend my time in a community "awash with optimism." Do you live in a part of the world engulfed by pessimism? Do you work in a pocket of pessimism? Do you live in a nation awash with optimism? Are you a force for optimism?
