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

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in.  A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

Realism, (n.)

The art of depicting nature as it is seen by toads. The charm suffusing a landscape painted by a mole, or a story written by a measuring-worm.
 
--The Devil's Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce, 1911 (About)

[Lorenzo]

The Oxford English Dictionary defines optimism  as having "hopefulness and confidence about the future or successful outcome of something; a tendency to take a favorable or hopeful view." The word is originally derived from the Latin optimum, meaning "best." Being optimistic, in the typical sense of the word, ultimately means one expects the best possible outcome from any given situation.

The pessimist sees only the tunnel; the optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel; the realist sees the tunnel and the light--and the next tunnel. -Sydney J. Harris
