Do you consider yourself an Optimist (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=Optimist&x=14&y=15) or a Pessimist (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=Pessimist&x=12&y=14)?

Optimist here. I always like to see the best in things. Exception to the rule would be SvM and Halo though. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif

LMAO!!

I'm generally an eternal optimist .. but as DH mentioned, there are exceptions to the rule http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

i see the glass neither half full or half empty.

i see the glass being twice as big as it needs to be.

[Seifer1921]

I consider myself as an Optimist but I will tell you the trust no matter what, so sometimes people think I am begin negative (or a pessimist) but I am really just giving it to you directly, with no sugar.

Depending on a mood. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif

NSA, you're an engineer?

An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. A pessimist fears this is true.

It is impossible for an optimist to be pleasantly surprised.

[DS12]

I am naturally pessimistic by nature. Have no idea why. Thanks for posting this seifer. Its a good poll http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

See it this way, as a pessimist, I am never disapointed

I was just saying I am an Optimist but come across negative sometimes because I and tell people the trust and they think I being negative.

[NapalmFrog]

all these dumb optimists and their polls.... oo, let's make the world change by signing a petition, maybe we can do something! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif

pessimist all the way man!

[BliNd-]

Im a pessimist, I always seem to find that bad in a situation.

[iyamH0x]

Seifer thanks for the clarity, I think. Now I get what you were saying, but that last sentence threw me off too...

[C_X_V_I_I]

Neither, I consider myself a realist.

[bozibozic]

Yes, 'tis a shame that wasnt an option!

most people (or at least optimists) consider realism to be the same as pessismism...

[C_X_V_I_I]

Not true. Realism is looking at things realistically, whether that be optimistically or pessimistically depends on the situation. Looking at things realistically does not always mean that I look at things pessimistically.

[quillan]

I agree. I tend to be a realist as well, but it all depends on how you look at things, which is where the original saying came from.

An optimist thinks the glass is half full.
A pessimest thinks the glass is half empty.
An engineer thinks the glass is too big.
An alcoholic thinks he needs a refill.

there's far more scotch in that glass than can fit in that bottle.

interesting.

[NapalmFrog]

i noticed that, but maybe u can assume that is his last bottle, and that he threw the rest behind him...

[XyZspineZyX]
