Optimism will often get us further than pessimism.
As for my 'strategy', I have none. I'm not a politician.
Come to that, I don't feel I need a strategy.

That's one area we disagree. You do not need a strategy to solve the world, but I think we all need a strategy to explain why we voted as we did to our children and grandchildren and so on if it doesn't work out. No need to tell us how you would handle it, and believe me I hope as much as you do that this will not come to pass.   But to say you don't need to have thought about it? I disagree. And I am not sure "I feared something worse" will be enough.
