How is your basic view on life?

Life is a terminal condition....

I believe that a pessimisyt is simply and optimist with life experience.

:rokk:

Always borrow money from a pessimist, he doesn't expect to be paid back.

An optimist thinks that this is the best possible world. A pessimist fears that this is true.

Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. --Gil Stern

A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities, and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties. --Harry Truman

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. --Helen Keller

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

And one for the boys:

A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An optimist is a man who hopes they are. ~Chauncey Mitchell Depew

Brilliant post - enjoyed those quotes immensely.

Thx

:bwave:

I'm cautiously optimistic :)

I like to classify myself as a realisitc optimist.

B)

skitzo. i eventully get what i want but it's usually only half what I expected and makes me want something else.

As long as I can remember, then I have been a happy optimist - not in a loony kinda way, but in a calm manner, which have helped me look past problems, and be glad for life... I know we all have our own litlle way of dealing with life, and find it interesting meeting people with a different perspective... The quotes LadyLaw gave are very fitting :)

However I wonder where the depressed doomsayers are - sure there must be some in the adult business? :)

Or these days, builds a wind farm.

I'm with Mike. Realistic optimist. The world is good with a few bad days mixed in. ;-)

I too used be schizophrenic.

But we are both fine now.

:gbounce:

Ahhh life is beautiful!



Except when I have PMS!

It's terminal

No one gets out alive


Chances are if your parents didn't have sex neither will you
