Hey...Who are you ?

Pessimist / Optimist / Realist


The pessimist complains about the wind;
the optimist expects it to change;
the realist adjusts the sails.

The optimist only becomes an optimist if he gambles and takes a risk on the fact that the wind will change. If he expected it to change, but still didnt do a thing about it, it still makes him a pessimist. Doesnt it?? :unsure

Well ... I fall in this category "Whether I like it or not, I always have to adjust the sails, lately have been sailing in a very interrupted weather, but hopefully will arrive safely someday!"

Not considering the general shifts in the day to day thought process, I think most of us start of as either as an Optimist / Pessimist.... Once we have had a taste of life and as responsibilities start to increase, we become more - or - less realists....
