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... until he has access to 
Leader, because the crew as a whole gets more morale from that. (Which in turn frees up other morale sources, like fruits, for KT himself.)
Roland, on the other hand, already gets four superior skills before even unlocking this one.
