    Me.. I am an optimist.. Left, right, center :mrgreen:

    Why think about the worst, if its destined to happen let it happen.

    Someone said:

    If you think about the worse, you worry.
    So if it really happened, you had worried twice
    If it did not, you had worried once already.

    We got to celebrate life and live the moment, me thinks :)

    Naturally I am an optimist,
    whenever destiny examined me, I used to hold the postive thinking tightly
    Gopalan sir, Thanks for sharing that wonderful story.

    I am in between (neutral) dont like to be over optimistic all the timesm, so that i can have atleast some back up plans whenever things go wrong.

    I must accept that I am a pessimist most of the time. I try to be optimistic but eventually something bad happens and am back to my pessimistic self.

    I am neither. I am pessimist most of the time, but when times are really hard and musibat is on my head, I become optimist and start telling myself that its going to be just fine.
