    Show your friend that clip and maybe death won't seem so bad after all.

    Anyone else find it misguided to quote a German with regards to hope? That's like asking your boss if you deserve a 50% increase in salary.

    Actually he was born in Scotland and was only a naturalized American.
    Therefore I'm assuming he got his courage from his Scottish roots and his lunacy from his American upbringing.

    Well, that quote pertained to going to war; Nietzsche's was regarding hope in general. Your associate won't be battle ready no matter how depressed you "help" him get. Just because you find a quote with the word "hope" in it, it doesn't make it entirely relevant to the discussion.

    Any chance you remember where Nietzsche is from?

    I disagree... accepting that he is already dead is a very relevant sentiment... whereas hanging onto some vain hope that he will live to a ripe old age is a sure fire way to depression... indeed I'd go further and state that accepting that you're already dead is a fairly good outlook on life... because sure as eggs is eggs, we're all gonna die!!!

    Oh! The Nietzsche angle is a waste of time... he only put it succintly into words. He most certainly isn't the only one to see 'hope' in the light expressed in those words, and he probably wasn't even the first to reach that conclusion.

    Go die then.

    So, do you have a greater chance of success with a project/challenge when you focus on an outcome and think of the best, or give up?

    I hate to say this, but you can be slightly likable at times.
