Thanks for sharing this. I think it would be interesting to hear from people and see whether they view themselves as an optimist or pessimist based on this information.

Hello Eileen

Undeniably a Optimist...but there was a time when it wasnt the case further more I would say that my personnality change over the years, as I gets older I tend to see life in a different light, even tough they are hurdles.

One main thing is to not sweat the small stuff like waiting in line or driving in traffic for example I became I think more patient not wanting to spend energy on trivial things...sometimes its easier and other times well....thats the way the cookie crumbles.

The main thing is to concentrate on a quality of life that suits me and by doing so I think it reflects on others, not with words but in the way I conduct myself towards others.

That as become very important for me.

I guess in the end it bowls down to how do we want to be remembered.

Have a Good One
