SK, that's the one thing that people make a BIG mistake over.
Paying heed to history, you can learn such a lot by studying it, politicians, economists, military commanders, even, dare I say it, share holders.
You ignore history at your peril, if you ignore it, you are destined to repeat it.
Be as optimistic as you like but...
A psychiatrist has one son who is a total pessimist, and another who is a complete optimist.
He decides on an experiment.
For Christmas he fills the pessimist’s room with hundreds of beautifully wrapped gifts, and dumps a heap of horse manure in the optimist’s room.
On Christmas morning he sees the pessimist boy sitting motionless at the center of his room, eyeing his gifts suspiciously. But over in the optimist’s room he sees his boy filled with joy, digging happily in the odorous pile. He asks the kid what he’s doing and he answers:
"Daddy, with all this horse dung, there’s gotta be a pony in there someplace.”
