Today, probably for the first time I understood the difference between an optimistic and a pessimist. I know its not a new concept and there are gazillion pages dedicated to aptly highlight this dichotomy. But compared to past passive readings, understanding something practically from your surroundings is a whole new realm. It literally changes or enhances a blurred perspective.
So, today I learned:
A pessimist would say: ‘Since I know B would not happen anytime soon, so I won’t do A.’
Whereas an optimist would say: ‘I think B would might not happen…not too sure; but still I want to try A. Want no regrets!’
I love reiterating that, ‘try and fail. But don't fail to try.’ Because, living with a regret is equivalent to just adding another unbearable eternal weight…which, with some effort could had been dropped off years ago!
Think. Simple.
Think. Simple.
