I am pessimist

  1. Anonymous opinó:

    Because I am an engineer. All engineers are pessimists (it will never work!) but then are overjoyed when we’re proven wrong.

    Because pessimists have the higher theoretical rate of happiness. An optimist always looks for things to turn out as well as they possibly can and since that rarely happens they are disappointed a lot. A pessimist always banks on the worst possible outcome which also very rarely happens, leaving the pessimist pleasantly surprised.
