Faulty brain is source of optimism!

Even after a soccer team loses 10 consecutive matches, a fan might persist in the belief that his team can reverse its bad luck. A new research says a 'faulty' function of the brain's frontal lobe is the reason for such optimism.

Why is human optimism so pervasive when reality
continuously challenges these biased beliefs, asks Tali Sharot of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (University College London), who conducted the study with others.  ::)

Maybe we are to harsh on the moaners ,  instead of rebuking them we should give them a shoulder to cry on.

So if the Brain rejects negative thought, does the moaners therefore not have as much of a brain as the happy clappers?

Hence therefore I'll listen to the happy clappers, they're the intelligent ones.

I see other research shows that you make better decisions and stand pain better if you're bursting to go for a pee!  Perhaps we should fill our team and managers with a pint or two of water (or Batemann's?) before a match.
