Optimists and pessimists die the exact same death, but they live very different lives! — © Shimon Peres
Optimists and pessimists die the exact same death, but they live very different lives!
Only optimists commit suicide, optimists who no longer succeed at being optimists. The others, having no reason to live, why would they have any to die?
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.
I thought all my life that optimists and pessimists pass away the same way, so why be a pessimist?
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?
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
Death is a part of all our lives. Whether we like it or not, it is bound to happen. Instead of avoiding thinking about it, it is better to understand its meaning. We all have the same body, the same human flesh, and therefore we will all die. There is a big difference, of course, between natural death and accidental death, but basically death will come sooner or later. If from the beginning your attitude is 'Yes, death is part of our lives,' then it may be easier to face.
The world belongs to optimists; the pessimists are only spectators.
Pessimists calculate the odds. Optimists believe they can overcome them.
The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.
Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be.
Optimists think that this is the best of all possible worlds; pessimists fear they are right.
Pessimists beat their heads against walls, while optimists open doors.
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.
