The League Of Pragmatic Optimists ethos: * We believe in an unashamed optimism of ambition about the future * We are pragmatists. We meet to help all of us do. Mouths on legs are discouraged * We believe in involving ourselves in projects that are ‘bigger than me’ * We believe ideas become more powerful when they are shared, not protected * Making mistakes is OK, but not trying is irresponsible * We all aim to police our own cynicism, and keep it in check
