I used a T-shirt that said "a pessimist is what an optimist calls a realist" I thought it was quite cleverNow I am just old to wear a T shirt like that that.
Curiously enough, some of the most optimistic people I've met are senior citizens (i.e. over the age of 65). Some of the most pessimistic people I've met are those in their 20s.
