Hmm, I think there's a difference in the definition of optimism then...I don't think optimisim is a "Something good is gonna happen!" mindset, rather, I see it as a "Something good could come of this." attitude.

Who's reality?

Anyways, overall I try to stick to a "Expect (plan for) the worst, hope for the best" mindset. I don't know how to define it via the optimist or pessimist line though.
