'Optimist'ize Your Life! Ganga Prasad G. Rao http://myprofile.cos.com/gangar “Be an Optimist”, they said “Smile and look around, the world is bright glamorous and beautiful” Persuaded, I have shed my pessimist snake-skin, peeled away my morose face (even shaved my week-long stubble!) And now, sporting a silly smile I have turned, overnight, a 'born-again optimist' livin' the good life, ignoring matters mundane, and anything beyond instant comprehension Wishing away all grey clouds of tomorrow in to the enjoyment of the now I am an Optimist, therefore I am!
