Dance In The Rain!

Day 32 of the ‘Post A Day 2011′ challenge: Are you an optimist, a pessimist, or something else?

Guess my life’s motto says it all:

Dance in the rain!

Art by Marie-Gold

An optimist is the human personification of spring.  ~Susan J. Bissonette

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.  ~Winston S. Churchill

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn’t see the clouds at all – he’s walking on them.  ~Leonard Louis Levinson

If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say, in a pleasant and hopeful voice, “Well, this isn’t too bad.  I don’t have my left arm anymore, but at least nobody will ever ask me whether I am right-handed or left-handed,” but most of us would say something more along the lines of “Aaaaah! My arm! My arm!”  ~Lemony Snicket
