I prefer to be realistic. Unwarranted optimism is as dangerous as unwarranted pessimism. It causes us to chase the impossible and rest on our laurels. At least the pessimists will sometimes be pleasantly surprised.

The laws of physics are reality, and although the pessimists may sometimes be pleasantly surprised, that surprise is undoubtably brought on by the more optimistic among them.
