I have heard of professional virgins, but professional optimists?
Suppose you're feeling depressed because of your work and they schedule
an appointment with an optimist for you the next Monday morning. "I'm
feeling a bit depressed, Doctor."  "Sure",  "that is because the meaning
of life reveals itself only if you use your best capacities for
something that is bigger than yourself." 

NOW GET BACK TO WORK!
