Just Be Optimistic...

A family had twins, an optimist and a pessimist. On their birthday, their father filled the pessimist’s room with new toys while the optimist’s room he put horse manure. Passing by the pessimist’s room, the father found him sitting amid his new gifts weeping.

“Why are you crying?” the father asked.

“I know, my friends will be jealousy, they will try to steal my new toys,” Complained the pessimist, “and I will be needing batteries all the time…”

Then the father went into the optimistic twin’s room, and found him smiling and jumping.

“What are you happy about?” the father asked.

“Hey!” the optimist exclaimed, “There’s got to be a pony in here somewhere!”


Some go through life looking for the worst,
others go through this life expecting the best.
None is disappointed.

For optimism’s never about circumstance
Neither is it about what one has
It’s an attitude; a choice.


“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill
