Das's Law of Optimism/Pessimism

The glass is twice as big as it needs to be. Get there.

Das's Law of Optimism/Pessimism is derived from something said by George Carlin. It explains that sometimes you expect too much of yourself and it gets you down in life.

Cautiously Pessimistic

An increasingly relevant wordplay on the cliché "cautiously optimistic". As the world continues in free fall, its much more realistic to expect negative outcomes. Therefore, its much more pragmatic to maintain a cautiously pessimistic demeanor, rather than a cautiously optimistic one.

My cat is always cautiously pessimistic when inspecting anything new that I bring into the house.

pessimist

Someone who is rarely disappointed, but sadly, very rarely pleasantly surprised.
