Idealism
But I guess...I'm like the everlasting optimist who
fell off the skyscraper.  As he passed the twentieth
floor, the horrified spectators in the windows heard
him shout, 'So far so good!' "
Adlai Stevenson

A mate of mine used to reckon there was a song with it in.

"And he said as he fell past the twenty third floor - so far so good, so 
far so good"
