Jane McGonigal and game designs - Creative Confidence #7
Game designer Jane McGonigal talks about something called urgent optimism. It is the desire to act immediately to tackle an obstacle motivated by the belief that you have a reasonable hope of success.
For example, when you play a game, you're looking for the win. You keep trying despite the failures. As you move from level to level, success brings you to a state of confidence.
Lesson:
You just need to hold out a "reasonable hope of success" and as well as the possibility of a truly epic win.
