A cynical attitude can be a great aid to improvement so long as you 
don't discourage yourself and others (sometimes even then). Far more 
dangerous is unfounded optimism. Disatisfaction with the status quo is 
the starting point for most relevant improvement and is in fact an area 
that introductory design courses spend a lot of time to nurture (often 
by having people keep a log of every little thing in the world that bugs 
them or could be better or could go wrong).
