An optimist looks at her smartphone and sees a mighty hand-held computer that is changing the world for the better.
A pessimist looks at her smartphone and sees all the accidents caused by people who text while driving, or text as they walk into a streetlamp.
An optimist thinks, "Another day of potential and opportunity". A pessimist thinks, "Another day of meaningless existence. And then you die."
In the end, life is what we make it, and the only constant is change.
As my friend Mark says, "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf".
As for me, I choose to be an optimist
because the alternative sucks.
