I think the goal is to not be on either extreme.You know, like extreme optimism or extreme pessimism. I don't want an optimist piloting a plane I'm on, I want someone who is a little bit pessimistic and will check every switch before he takes off. I don't want an extreme pessimist though, because that kind of person would probably just call themselves stupid until the plane crashed.
