Are you a pessimist?

What a coincidence — I am too.

I lie awake late into the night, remembering all the things that went wrong today and anticipating what will go wrong tomorrow.

I always do what I can, but never expect to be thanked or recognised.

I don’t wish for too much, so I’m not disappointed later.

I treat everyone as though I’ll never meet them again. My time is limited after all.

Are you an optimist?

What a coincidence — I am too.

I lie awake late into the night, remembering all the things that I helped with today and anticipating what I can help with tomorrow.

I always do what I can, but don’t expect to be thanked or recognised.

I don’t wish for too much, so I’m not disappointed later.
