Optimist or pessimist?

"Thing good, and it will be good" or "Expect the worst and the best will happen"

Opti or pessi' , the two ways to live life, when something bad happens do you freak out and get all nervous, or are you the type of person that says, hey it already happened, now time to move on.

Thinking positive is always good, makes life a lot easier, but the way I see it, lets face it, I' a realist, as so are most people ( I hope) and we all know that life isn't always easy, sometimes you have to be ready for the ugly, and thinking it will all be good is just going to set you up for the shock of your life...

On the other hand, expecting the worst is just going to give you a nervous breakdown, its a terrible way to live your life, always expecting/seeing the bad in life... Advantage is however that when the bad does happen you will be prepared and can say, see I told you so!@

Me, I'm a optimistic pessimist.

My tipsy quotes:

Optimist: Changing your blood type to B-positive. (or 0-negative)

"Depressed? Me? I'm not depressed... I'm pissed off! Depressed would mean that I feel like killing MYSELF, P/O means that I feel like killing SOMEONE ELSE!"

"I'm not sad, I'm just exercising my frown muscles."


Tipsy me ;) (Under the afluence of incohol, hope I made some sense, L'chaim!)

An optimist sees the best in the world, while a pessimist sees only the worst. An optimist finds the positive in the negative, and a pessimist can only find the negative in the positive.

For example, an avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.

He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog.

As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. They fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet. This continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.

The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but did not say a single word.
On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?"

"I sure did," responded the pessimist. "He can't swim."
