Adapt as you go


I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist, and no i am not an opportunist. I am never an idealist and sometimes i drift away from being a realist. I adapt as i go.
I don't deceive myself by saying everything would be fine when clearly things are never going to be fine.
I don't say i am optimistic of seeing Liverpool winning the English Premier League when i clearly know they don't have what it takes, neither am i a pessimist if I say Chelsea cannot retain the UCL crown, and no i am not an opportunist if i think Arsenal, should take advantage of Liverpool's poor form to beat them at Anfield.
Working with facts doesn't make me a realist any more than working with theories makes me an idealist.
There is a fine balance between all these where i can choose to stay, looking at situations and taking the “perfect philosophy” to use. This statement may sound realistic, or opportunistic – depending on how you view it – but view it another way and you'll realize there's a bit of every aforementioned trait.

There is no one way of approach.


The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
