Laughter 😁 and Optimism 😊 : A Great Way to Celebrate National Water 🚰 Week. Thanks for sharing the Joy, Laughter and Enthusiasm, Angela Kelly and the water 💧 team at @AECOM. I opened by quoting @AlboMP's speech from Saturday night, “I do want #Australians to know that I will always be ambitious for our country, ambitious for us to be the very best version of ourselves. I will always be #optimistic for what we can achieve together." This year's @AustralianWater's Water Week theme invites all to be "United by Water."  "Water touches every aspect of development. It drives economic growth, supports healthy ecosystems, and is essential and fundamental for life." I closed with a session of laughter yoga 🧘‍♀️ What is optimism? At its simplest, optimism is an expectation that good things will happen and that things will work out in the end. It's the key to longevity, leadership, good strategy, innovation and resilience. – at Melbourne, Victoria
