Positive thinking is like narcissism. In moderation it's beneficial, when it's used to extremes it becomes pathological. Optimism is ideal. I mean, why not? Optimism is hoping for the best, while preparing for the worst. Lots of positive thinking there. It's just that it's counter-balanced by negative thinking, and grounded in reality.

I was fortunate enough to learn how they suffered through that ordeal back in my Navy days. I think we get into danger whenever we get off kilter and focus too much or too little on the reality of our situation. Kent, Stockdale’s story, like all those POW’s, is incredibly powerful.

Admiral Stockdale survived years of harsh imprisonment in North Vietnam by 1) never losing sight of the negative reality he faced, and 2) never giving up his faith that he would make it through the experience, and doing everything he could to make that happen. The point Collins made is that great organizations never let themselves be fooled into a rosy view if reality is gray.
