What are the definations of "optimistic"? In www.dictionary.com, their defination of "optimistic" are:

• One who usually expects a favorable outcome.
  
• A believer in philosophical optimism.

However, in a layman meaning, do we know how to see or recognise a person who is optimistic?

In my point of view, there are two kinds of people in the world who makes the rest of us to mistake them as being optimistic.

The first type is everyone's "happy seed". Whenever people sees them, they will think that this person is cute, humourous, funky, and most of all, brightens up everyone's day. This type of person will be split into two catogories:

• Young and innocent, mostly ages below 17
• Borned to be a joker, close and friendly to everyone.

However, most of us should understand that the one at the second category has also their own problems, and they might be stressed with it too, just that he/she doesn't show them out. As for the first category, they are indeed stressless and has no much problems. But have you all noticed that a person when they slowly reaches around 18, they became low profile, and not as talkative as before. Their faces don't always show a smile anymore.

The second type of person is "heck-care" type. He/she is one who are able to get along with practically everything. Seems like they are so happy of what they are, and even heck care about the outcomes of everything. They even solves a problem in a briefly manner, thinking that it should be ok. So as problem comes, they might even avoid it. These people are very low in profile, but as well being condemed by many work-related partners! So... Erm, but I'm not sure whether are they optimistic because they are really stressless. But I can say that this is a very wrong way! Do give comments about this ok?

So well, in my point of view, who is optimistic? I think it should be someone who is able to accept and face problems in a willingly manner, and work things out eagerly. And when it comes to some situations whereby the loss can't be recovered in anyway e.g. death, or some other problems where there is practically no methods to be able to solve, they put the things down immediately and look forward without brooding the pasts. They thinks that those are lessons to be learnt, thats all. For this kind of person, they don't necessarily put smiles on their faces all the times. They might also be a low profile person, quiet and no-smile face.

So, an optimistic doesn't mean that they seems happy all the times, and a pessimistic person doesn't mean to be gloomy all times. Dear fellows, do gives comments if you have any.
