The point of my comment, which was perhaps too subtle, is that I don't see how meaningless trite words like these could have any effect on an intelligent person. Does this disqualify me for human-hood? At no point did I imply that I can take on challenges with the odds stacked against me and still cheerful about it. I mean, I can, but I didn't imply that anywhere. And I don't see how this crap would help me even if I weren't a superhero.
