Optimism VS Realism

Who Are They ?

Optimistic folks are fools, I give you that. They tend to close there eyes on things that are real, and say that it is gonna be okay, even though they do not know that! They lie to themselves and always chose to speed up the process, they are not mature, they think that life is made of simple things, their attitude defies logic and follow their heart rather than their brain. Their attitude can be contagious.

Realistic people on the other hand are more mature, they chose not to make another step unless they know what they are doing, they live on earth and think that Flying is for birds. They don’t like false hopes so they don’t follow superstition (they call it). They chose to be normal and are scared of what would happen if they step in an unknown environment.

Pros and Cons

The Realistic attitude’s plus side :

• The chance of getting hurt is more likely to be less,
• They are more likely to live a happy life,
• They are mature

The Realistic attitude’s other side :

• The Chance of feeling anything is more likely to be less,
• They are more likely to stay on square one for the rest of their lives,
• They would rather live on earth rather than fly like birds, like a woman in love, like a child playing with LEGO’s, like a Father seeing his daughter for the first time in his life, like a happy couple in their 80s
• They stay normal for their whole life
• They do not aim for what every human-being deserves to have : Happiness

The Optimistic attitude’s Negative side :

• Optimistic people don’t have that side.

The Optimistic attitude’s Sweet and lovely positive side :

• They believe that life is short, that there is no time for being upset about some silly things that happen to a person. They believe that, what others may call, problems are the bricks that build one’s experience, they learn to recognize what made it happen, and make the best of it.
• They grab Happiness before they even reach it, for Happiness is a choice.
• They are realistic, but they build around that to make theirs and other people lives sparkle.

Let’s Wrap Things Up

Optimistic folks are fools.

They think that life is made of simple things.

They believe that Happiness is not an option, that everybody deserves to be happy, so they made a vow that they will help everybody around them to become Happy no matter how much it would cost.

They are the real deal.

Sincerely,

A life lover.

I may have stole few things from this article by Zohra Jebari, so I must say thank you my friend, You inspired me.

And YL for FUELing my brain.

Who am I ?

I was talking to a total stranger just now, we were kidding around and talking about random stuff, then she asked me : “Who are you ?”

Well I can’t believe that after 24 years, this was the first time that I’ve ever been able to describe my self to anybody without having this feeling that I would rather not talk about my self. Well without any further useless talking here is what I said:

I am Abderrahmane TAHRI JOUTI, born in Paris, lived six years there, moved to Fez, lived 18 years there. I’m 24 years old, Web Developer for almost 9 months in a company called Synergy Media based in Agadir.

Until then I had a degree in Computer Engineering, I took a gap year to integrate myself into the atmosphere of the enterprise before continuing my studies, I intend to continue in a Masters program in September insha’Allah, or April 2013 if they accept me in a program in Japan.

I’m a total Optimistic (you’ll never bring me down), I’m a schizophrenic language user : I use Arabic, French and English in the same sentence and I invent words : ^)

I am a geek, I love everything that is colorful, I recognize what is beautiful, and you can not impress me easily.

I can talk about my life to someone who is unknown to me, while I do not often talk about myself with people I know.

Here at this very moment I am listening to this : http://www.lastfm.fr/user/A_TJ

For those who can read French & Moroccan Arabic, here is the original message :

Well I think that that’s a wrap :^)

have a good day.

Help Your Self Help You

Two years ago, I met this charming girl who was writing on a paper all kinds of words that describs how her life was so tough, maybe not just that. It was all kinds of words of what you’d expect to be reasons that would bring you down.

• Like being a 23 years old woman and having a baby to care about (wasn’t even hers, it was her half brother from a woman who’s not her mother).
• Like being surounded by all kinds of people who pretends to be your friends, when you’re alright, and not there when you’d need them the most.
• Like having a brother who would never treat you like the closest person he could ever have, not even caring if you’re alright.
• …

That’s not even the 2% of the words she had on that paper, but I guess you got the Idea.

As an optimistic person, I asked her: “Why would you waste your time, thinking of all means that could birng you down ?” even asked her if she’ve ever tried to warm her self up.

There then, she answered just the way I was Expecting her to do:

“of course!! but why would I ? why would I try to forget about what’s real ? even if you are optimistic, there would be loads of things that would wanna bring you down and remind you that you are fighting for a lost cause. We have to be realistic !”

yeah ! - I thought - you’re going to enjoy the fact of knowing that there is something bad waiting for you somewhere. You’ll say to your boyfriend: “Yaaay, I knew you’ll dump me, even from the start, so I’ve been preparing my self to that very day. I’m going to cry for the 8 coming months, but that’s okay, because I knew it :D” (well, at least she smiled)
