THE PESSIMIST!!!!
The Pessimist!!!!!
“Life is hard, and then you die,” says the pessimist. “It can’t be done. It’s unrealistic. You’ll fail and embarrass yourself. Don’t even try.”
The constant litany of negativity that streams from the mouth of this person can slowly convince even the staunchest optimist that they will never succeed. These people don’t just complain—they live with a misguided certainty that they, you, and everyone around them, will fail, and that it’s better to simply not begin in the first place.
These people will never go anywhere, and if you spend your time with them, neither will you. Even if you don’t adopt their negative views, you’ll begin to doubt yourself. You’ll start wondering if the risks involved in chasing your dreams are too high.
The pessimist may claim to simply be a realist, but the world they believe in is nothing but a dark fairy tale. The world is no more like than it is perfect—it’s somewhere in between.
Remember—your success is up to you. The pessimist has already given up control over his or her life. Don’t let them convince you to do the same.
