Are you an optimist?

Well... I am a pessimist... so I am looking forward to your suggestions. There is not much left in this life to be optimist about. Burying your head in the sand while pretending that life is wonderful is one way to be optimist I guess. But that don't make the reality go away. And when you have a major catastrophe... you act shock and surprise... because you did not see it coming. How could you while your head was in the sand? Optimism is a bit like expectations. You expect that everything will go smootly and according to your plan. That would be fine is the plan only depended of you and you were in control. But you are not because there is always someone outhere ready to throw a spanner in your well organise plan. So I thing you are wrong in your assumption that optimist people are happier than pessimists. Just because you are pessimist does not mean that you are not trying to achieve. You just do it more cautiously to prevent desappointments. The optimist surge ahead as long as everything goes well. But more often than not... there will be one stage where he will fall down because he did not see it coming... and that will be the end of his optimism. Once burn... twice shy. The pessimist on the other hand has something to be happy about everytime something works beyond his expectations. And he rarely falls down because he is cautious to climb up safely and securely.

Poonam, Hi! How are you? I can say that I am an 'optimist' and I firmly believe that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I live my life optimistically and I expect that God will bring happiness for me and my family and for my dear friends too. What about you? Are you an optimistic? Deepak Have a Nice Day!

I am an optimist.I never sulk and face everything with a brave happy face.Opportunities spot the happy faces.

I try to see the world from its brighter side and take the situation as its come. i always look for fun in whtevr doing, whether hw much serious is situation. I not care toomuch wht others are thinking about mine act and try tobe in rite side of the situation.

Hi friend! I am very optimistic when it comes to life. You might think am lying but that's the truth. Yes friend, optimism make us life achievable. I am an optimist cos I believe in God and those who believe in Him, never become loosers in life. Thanks

I am an optimist for sure and it just makes life so much better. I understand that bad things happen from time to time and it would be important to get life going without getting obsessed on the bad things. I have a friend who worries about everything and complains about everything that happens to her and to be honest I find her quite annoying to be with. I think she only focuses on the sad things and misses out all the good fun in life. I try to loosen her up but it's no use, I think it's really in our blood that how we think and accept challenges in life.

I am an optimist with a pessimistic trying to sneak out at times, most of the time I always look at the brighter side of life, but sometimes I revert back to the ways I was brought up with a very pessimistic Mother.

I'm an optimistic pessimist - I'm positive it all going to go wrong :)

yup! i think so. i always look at the good side.. being optimistic is a good attitude of a man.. don't think of the bad side for it will never go you something you wish to have.. being in the positive side always will help you reach something to the fullest.. always put in mind, there's nothing that you can't do.. if there's a will there's a way... good day!

Oh yes ! I feel and act on the firm conviction that things will definitely take a better stride sooner or later . After all , this belief is that keeps us all pulling on and on in our life . Good luck . LOL.

That's amusing....actually, I've got to say, I'm a little of both....where it comes to the economy and finances I'm a pessimist, where it comes to my family and living one day at a time in joy, I'm definitely an optimist.

Basically I'm a pessimistic :) but after a while I realize that being a pessimistic bring such a great pressure, and now I choose how I want to think about things.. and that is a thinking positive :)

I think i am an optimist person...Pessimism never helps

Yes.I'm an optimist and love to be like that through my life. It makes a lot of difference in life and to move with optimistic people is great and woth doing.
