    Optimist or Pesimist?

    Optimist, the opposite of pessimism, exemplifies a lifeview where one looks upon the world as a positive place. Optimists generally believe that people and events are inherently good. They have a so-called "positive" outlook on life, believing that things will work out in the end. A common conundrum illustrates optimism versus pessimism with the question, does one regard a given glass of water as half full or as half empty? Conventional wisdom expects optimists to reply with half full and pessimists to respond with half empty.

    Pessimism describes a general belief that things are bad, and tend to become worse; or that looks to the eventual triumph of evil over good; it contrasts with optimism, the contrary belief in the goodness and betterment of things generally. A common conundrum illustrates optimism versus pessimism with the question, does one regard a given glass of water as half full or as half empty? Conventional wisdom expects optimists to reply with half full and pessimists to respond with half empty.

    I like to think that it is simply half way to another full cup.

    It varies.

    I'm pessimistic when it comes to grades because I don't want to think I did good and get a mark less than what I expected. if I'm pessimist that way, I can't be dissapointed by my marks.

    But for everything else, there is Mastercard... I mean optimism.
