Cynicism

From Conan O'Brien's farewell speech:

All I ask is one thing: please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record it's my least favorite quality; it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.

Most people will latch on to the phrase 'work really hard' and miss out on the key word: 'kind'.
