Optimists become entrepreneurs.
Pessimists become engineers.

What about realistics?
Mannnnnn this hits hard 🤣
My gf says bitcoin is made by the government and it's a trap.
Thoughts?
In other words
Optimist 🧡
Pessimist 💶
True! 🤣
As an engineer I cannot relate to this… at all 😂😂 But the glass is always half empty for some reason..
If you take 'optimism' in its original definition (taken from optimized) meaning the belief the world is as good as it gets, and pessimism denoting that bad things can happen but can be avoided, the definitions are exactly reversed. Engineers find creative, innovative, and optimal solutions to problems--what we understand as optimism today--and entrepreneurs synthesize existing ideas with the resources available. Not debating. Just another way of looking at it. Cheers.
Yes, the happiest people are a little bit delusional
I've yet to hear of a person that doesn't suffer from some delusion.
As an engineer, I can confirm that you are wrong. Engineers are realists or they don't last long.
Anyone who starts a project of any kind, where it is not clear at first whether success is possible is an optomist. Many engineers fall into this category. Sometimes, it's even because they want to.
I think i am a pessimistic optimist.
I hate the past, work in the present, for a beautiful future.
So what is the polymath that does both?
