Optimist or Pessimist?

[VPJunkie]

From the Vegas Magic mailer this week - how appropriate for our biz!!

A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom & gloom pessimist.

Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday their father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.

That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly.

"Why are you crying?" the father asked.

"Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken." answered the pessimist twin.

Passing the optimist twin's room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" he asked

To which his optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!" :LOL:

it sorta reminds me of that story about the poor village that had a burro accidently fall into their drinking well.

the town realized that the water wouldn't be any good so they decided to just fill in the well and dig a new one.

The burro never gave up hope. the more dirt and crap they threw down on him. the more he'd shake his back until the dirt fell to the floor below him.

Then every once in a while he'd step up on the highest part of the dirt mound and begin the process all over.

soon that burro walked out of the hole.


the moral?

no matter how much crap they shovel on you; if you just shake it off and don't let it get you down. some day you WILL persevere!
