Being The Optimist helps you to not despair during the Mush apocalypse.
Having this skill reduces the daily morale loss by 1 
. Effectively, that means you do not become depressed just from the passage of time as long as 
Mankind's only hope is alive.
However, since a mere 1 is pretty cheap to come by (between completely free in the presence of a 
Shrink to 1 
when cooking a ration), this effect can be considered very weak in all but the most "hopless" morale situations.
- In comparison:
Chun's skill gives this effect to the entire crew.
It is an okay supplementary skill for a 
Gold Mode Kuan Ti. But once he has access to 
Leader, the crew as a whole gets more morale from that - which in turn leaves more other morale sources, like fruits, for him.
Roland, on the other hand, gets four superior skills before even unlocking this one.
