If you are a parent, then you probably know what it is like to be negative a lot of the time. At least, that’s often what it feels like. Parents are constantly telling their kids what NOT to do.

Optimist are happy-go-lucky, annoying people who think that everything will magically work out, right?
And pessimists are doom-and-gloom, depressed people who think the whole world is a miserable place, right?
