Optimist or Pessimist ?

I don't like to classify myself like that. We have to have both the qualities in life, especially if you are the head of the family or an organization. One has to weigh both the pros and cons and hence he/ she has to be both pessimistic and optimistic. Remember, while the optimist invents the airplane, the pessimists invented the parachute.

Hi ketybhagat, me too tend to be a person of optimist mixed with pessimist. To be frankly I couldn't be a optimist fully all the time though I try hard to be. Life won't go smoothly all the time. There is time we might encounter certain difficulties or unfortunate and sad events which cause us to sink in the depth of despair. I do would feel depressed and seem like having no hope toward life when I come across any severe hard to resolve problem. Luckily that I'm an optimist and always hope for the best and don't give up easily. The support and encouragement as well as warm comfort given by my loved ones, and also saying prayer to God to help me to go through the hot water finally Take care and happy posting

I am definitely an optimist. I don't immediately give up. I try first and if I fail, that's the time that I give up. Failure is just part of the game but we should always think of winning.

my problem is im very much the pessimist. the reason being is that most of my life bad things have happened more then good. only 8 short yrs was i an optimist and that was when married to my late hubby. everything was great when he was alive.

Hi dear friend, I was going to be a pessimist for not getting your presence in myLot for long time. Now I'm optimist that you have not lost. Trust is the basis of optimism. I have trust on my friends and relatives.In that sense I'm an optimist. When someone would hurt my trust definitely I shall get pain. But I will never loose my belief on humans. To believe humans is to believe God. You can say I'm optimist.

I would say I am a mix of both too. I am sometimes very optimistic but sometimes pessimist, it depends on the subject. I have learn to live my life without constantly blaming or thanking god for whatever is on my way. I am quite optimistic these days.

I am more of an optimist. i believe that thgings happen for a reason and so i take negativity in a positive manner too. If you look for the right reasons you will find one!

I thing i`m realist but very often i`m also pessimist and think about the worst way that the things can go.

i was a pessimist before.when i felt like i'm like a stagnant river.but today, I've changed.i view life optimistically. when i woke up one morning and just thought that it is enough, i'm gonna do something with my life and no one can put me down.

im a pessimist and im proud to say that. I expect everything not to turn out right. Maybe because i dont trust my self or simply i get thrilled when my expectations turn out ok. i just dont want to be frustrated in the end if i think of positive things that turned bad.
