Pessimists beat their heads against walls, while optimists open doors.
Pessimists are usually right and optimists are usually wrong but all the great changes have been accomplished by optimists.
I don't know if the optimists or the pessimists are right. But, the optimists are going to get something done.
Pessimists are toxic. I love optimists - and by that, I don't mean people who are unable to see challenges. Optimists are solution-oriented.
The positive outlook that optimists project does not come from ignoring or denying problems. Optimists simply assume that problems are temporary and can be solved, so optimists naturally want more information about problems because then they can get to work and do something. Pessimists are more likely to believe that there is nothing they can do anyway, so what's the point of even thinking about it?
Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against walls, but by overtaking the walls. Warriors jump over walls; they don't demolish them.
The world belongs to optimists; the pessimists are only spectators.
Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be.
The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.
Pessimists calculate the odds. Optimists believe they can overcome them.
Optimists think that this is the best of all possible worlds; pessimists fear they are right.
I thought all my life that optimists and pessimists pass away the same way, so why be a pessimist?
Optimists and pessimists die the exact same death, but they live very different lives!
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.
As a bull market turns into a bear market, the new pros turn into optimists, hoping and praying the bear market will become a bull and save them. But as the market remains bearish, the optimists become pessimists, quit the profession, and return to their day jobs. This is when the real professional investors re-enter the market.
The bottom line on attitude is that a good one helps to increase your possibilities. Pessimists usually get what they expect. So do optimists.
I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get there. That's how I saw it, and see it still.
