Applied wager between a Pessimist and Optimist

Everybody knows that being a pessimist sucks.Yet, for some people, they find it hard to be optimistic about their lives. Maybe they have their own reasons I

guess. I personally don't want people especially my friends to be a pessimist. So i came up with an idea of waging between optimist and pessimist.

In terms of problems:

Pessimist

If Solved

- You wasted your time for being a stressful person

If Not Solved

- You Suffer more from your stress and your life sucks!
- You would become more pessimist about your life.
- You will loose your ability to handle problems in life
- Worst case would be Suicidal

Optimist

If Solved

- You become more confident in dealing with problems
- You didn't waste your time on being a stressful person

If Not Solved

- You still have the confident in dealing with problems
- Even if you didn't solve your problem at least you did what you could do best
- You wouldn't lose hope on your life
- you still have the ability to smile..=)

This wager was inspired by one of my favorite topics(PASCAL'S WAGER THEORY) we had discussed in our philosophy subject.
Sometimes if you can not reason out things for you to be able to decide which path you take, you just have to give in yourself to practicality.
