Half Full Or Half Empty?

A friend told me a story yesterday about two young boys. One was an optimist and one a pessimist. Each boy was put in a room by themselves for four hours.

The pessimist found every toy he ever dreamed of in his room. The optimist was placed in a room filled with six feet of manure.

Four hours later, the door was opened to the pessimist's room. He was found crying. When asked what was wrong, he responded, "I don't know what to play with first!" Then he also whined, "Something might break!"

When the door to the optimist's room was opened, he was found to be happily digging away. When asked what he was doing, he said with an expectant smile on his face, "With all this manure, there's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"

So which one are you?
