Would you say that you are a pessimist or an optimist?

I have always considered myself to be a pessimist because I associate pessimism with being a realist. To me, people who are optimistic about everything are out of touch with reality. Nothing is 100%. There is no one’s life that is great all the time. Life constantly throws situations at us and its up to us how we handle it.

Many people believe that how a person thinks greatly affects them and those around them. Well, I suppose I cannot argue with that. A person’s actions are definitely a reflection of their thought process.

Its good going into a situation thinking positively. But its also good to go into that situation with worst case scenario. At least that way, if things don’t go as you had planned, you won’t walk away disappointed.
