QuoteAn optimistic child and a pessimistic child are waiting for Santa Claus. The pessimistic child is sure that he won't receive much, the optimistic child is all smiles and can't wait to see the gifts.
Santa arrives. The pessimistic child wakes up first, collects all the toys and gifts under his tag, and puts a piece of horse-manure under the other child's tag.
The optimistic child wakes up and finds ... a dung.
Then the children exchange impressions:
The pessimist is upset: I received a train but it's too small, a car but not the color I wanted, a chocolate but it's just milk-chocolate no peanuts...
The optimist laughs delighted: Wow, I received a pony, but I couldn't find it yet ...!
Although I don't always write it explicitly, it should be inferred that everything I post is "my belief", "my opinion" on that subject, at that moment.
