Are you a natural optimist or pessimist?

[SEAN RAF]

Me? My angle? I am just an old Soc degree guy. And I am bored. So, I thought I would ask. Oh, and I signed up for an online Masters Degree and my thesis will use you guys.

Fett, I was trying to be OBVIOUSLY pessimistic...

[SEAN RAF]

But ended up being optimistic that you'd get it...

I didn't get it. I thought you were serious. Now, I'm getting pessimistic.

[Mike]

I'm more optimistic than pessimistic.

[fett]

You are confusing me.:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: I meant when you were or are growing up. 13 to 57 cripple, blind or crazy.

[krimson]

Natural Optimist, except when dealing with my current drummer in which case I'm the pessimist.

[rjohnstone]

Neither.
I am an engineer.

So the glass is not half full or half empty.
Is twice as big as it needs to be.

It has redundancy built in.

[levantin]

I'm an optimist. It's just that statistically it is more probable that I will end up with an unfavourable outcome in any given situation. Oh well, hope for the best.

the glass is neither half full nor half empty; the glass is simply too large for the amount of water its holding.

Who cares if the glass is half full, or half empty. I drink from the bottle. I am a hedonist.

[5074charvel]

4 basic types of personalities - after Gary Larson:

1. The glass is half full.

2. The glass is half empty.

3. Half full .. half empty ... well, dunno ... what was the question?

4. Hey, what´s this? I ordered a cheesburger.

[VitaminG]

I used to be (and when dealing with other people's problems often still am) an optimist. Not so much when I've got my own shit to deal with.

Although I'm also a cynic & a skeptic. So cynically skeptical. Or skeptically cynical.

A cynic with low expectations

You could also be a dyslexic agnostic. Does your dog exist?

You take an empty glass, fill it half way, then it's half full. If you take an empty glass, fill it all the way, drink half of it, then it's half empty.

[atomic charvel guy]

the glass is half full, the glass is half empty, either way I'm one of those 'bartender!!! I'm gonna be needing one real soon" kinda guys.
that's how I look at a glass.
