I just read the wikipedia articles on hope and optimalism; I'm going to read the ones on positive psychology and perfectionism later. So far, I think optimalism is better than perfectionism because it creates less anticipation. Less anticipation means less disappointment when facing failure. Less disappointment translates to better mood and a quicker ability to learn from failure. Combined with hope, optimalism can lead to betterment.
