  • Benevision: (1) Ability to see the good; perception of good; discernment of potential; a favourable view (of life in general).

    (2) The ability to recognize the potential in people; and not only in people, but also in places, events, and things—to see “the good side” in any situation.

    Example: “Using his chief entrepreneurial strength, his benevision, Jones succeeded in giving wary shareholders a bright picture of their profits if they voted for the merger.”
