Unbreakable hope: The secret of the Stockdale ParadoxAdded:
Stockdale survived for over seven years as a prisoner of war, and he noticed something really strange. The biggest optimists were often the first ones to die. Why?
Because they'd say things like, "We'll be out by Christmas." And then when Christmas came and went, their hope was just shattered.
The Stockdale paradox is about this delicate balance. You have to maintain absolute unwavering faith that you will get through this, while at the same time confronting the harsh brutal facts of your current situation right now.
