Realistically which one are You?    

Optimist

Ok, so you see the glass half full! It does not stop there! You naturally have a very positive outlook on life, the world and yourself. You are confident and have no trouble dealing with situations head on with confidence. You are a bright and cheerful person with a light heart and a good sense of humour.

Pessimist

Oh! Your glass is half-empty. Nothing seems possible and you just don’t think you can manage. You feel that life has dealt you an unfair hand. Well, it is time to change the way you see yourself and the world. You can start by making small but positive changes.

Fatalist

Oops! You don’t even see the glass, whether it’s half-full or half empty. Life is simply doom and gloom. You need serious attention. You need to bring some positivity into your life – Starting with your self-worth and your self-confidence, you should think in such a way that will bring positive things, situations and people into your life.

Realist

If you read all of the above and couldn’t figure out which was you, because you are a little bit of them all.  You are then the realist.  To understand life, people, situations and circumstances in an objective way probably makes you a realist.  Its great to be a realist as life is full of twists and turns and moderation is something that we all strive for to keep the balance and status quo.
