I have found something like this: The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expect it to change. The leader adjusts the saile What do you think about it? Did you experience something like this in your life?

I am a possimist who is trying to get everyone to stop following the leader. After all - who is more important, you or Barak Obama? You.

I agree. You can be the leader while encouraging others to "lead themselves". Sometimes, even, it's necessary to be the leader. However, if no movement is made to decrease dependency, an unhealthy relationship emerges.

Hi Krupik, very interesting and terribly accurate. Pessimist and optimist are the followers - complain, rant, hope, wish, but take no action. Only the leader does.

Depending on the situation, I could be either one of the three.

I like that quote very much and think it applies to life. I have a friend that said he has given up on all his ambitions. He can't be bothered to do much and be is spending up time moaning at the moment. Another friend said she will get out and about whatever the weather is like. She thinks it might change from rain and wet to sunshine and dry. A different friend takes her umbrella in her shopping bag and her sunglasses in her hand bag. She is suited to any sort of weather. I was once told "the optimist and the pessimist have the same journey but the optimist has the better time".

A Leader Is One Who Commands Respect From His Subordinates .. A Pessimist Has To be advised On Positivity .. A Optimist Is Believing on Brighter things Life Has To offer .. Depending On the Circumstance you Can Be A Pessimist An Optimist or A Leader .. Thank You ..

Hi, krupik! At various times in my life, I've been all three. I much prefer being the leader, and making things happen for me, no to me!

Nice quote you got here. I can say i'm both pessimist and optimist. Because it will depend on the situations. When i am a pessimist, i'm just being conscious to what bad out come of things but later on i became a optimist. Because i know its just one in a million life's challenges. happy mylotting!

pessimists are negative thinkers, optimists are positive thinkers while leaders are making things possible in their way, they don't just think positive towards things but also do things accordingly just to be successful..it is really a nice quote to live..
