The Difference Between Optimism and Pessimism

Today I was walking up to one of the school's doors while another student was trying to swipe her ID card to get into the building and it wasn't working. So I gave it a shot, but to no avail. So I said that I guess we get to walk around the school to the next door so that we could get in. She was all frustrated and angry and I mentioned how we would be burning a few extra calories so it was actually a good thing. She shot back with, "but time is too precious these days."

I realize that time is precious, but man alive, burning extra calories is no big deal. I often walk around campus to get in so that I can get a LITTLE bit of physical activity during my long days of studying.

To top all of this off, she ended up not having to back track at all in campus and just went right in and sat down as soon as we walked into the door and I had to back-track thru the entire campus to get to my intended spot.

Some people.
