This document contains a series of quotes and comments from the Twitter account @optimistontour. Some of the quotes discuss future trends of technology outpacing humanity, a coming decade of turbulence, and whole nations failing to understand technological changes. Other quotes discuss the importance of having ambitious optimism about the future, engaging in "bigger than you" projects, and making mistakes but not failing to try. The document advocates thinking like an engineer instead of a politician, policing your own cynicism, and being defined by what you create rather than what you own.
