People distinguish Optimists from Pessimists by the way they look at an half-filled glass of water. They say an Optimist will see the water in it , while the later will see the void and lose sleep over it.
But there is something trivially wrong with this assumption. What will the Optimist feel if that glass was empty instead? Most of the so-called archaic optimists will revert and mull over it. Hence with the changing times the definition of an Optimist needs to evolve too. After all Environmentalists have predicted Water-wars in 2025 or so.
The true optimist according to me , is the one who rejoices that atleast the Glass is intact and so is the hope of it being filled to the brim one day/hour. The optimist waits for it to rain , digging up watersheds and uses the water when draught cometh.
We all know the Myth of pandora's box. When mankind was stripped of all , that which remained was the most singular of all resources. It is more precious than a mountain of gold. Even he mountain of gold must have come from some hopeful digger's shovel.
Optimist is homologous to Optimization; and you all know what that stands for , using minimum resources for maximum output !!!
Make hay while the sun is still up and that way you needn't use Floodlights to do the same at night.
