I was taken by a quote since I am a pessimist and at work they say they only want optimists. I say that there is nothing wrong with pessimism as long as you have drive for results. Pessimists tend to be realists and address how to make things better.
"Do you know the difference between an optimist and a pessimist?...A pessimist says "O dear, things can't possibly get any worse. And an optimist says "Don't be so sad. Things can always get worse".
Maybe it is better to be a pessimist - you tend to do things about the situation.
