A Half Empty Glass

I am not a wise man. At times, I even lack basic intelligence. However as of late, I have become aware one basic principle I practice has always lead me to great success – the wisdom of pessimistic thinking.

Some view pessimists as concentrating on the negatives of life. I view pessimism as the ability for positive improvement.

Pessimism reminds us that because the glass is half empty, in turn, it removes our ego. Lack of ego instills humility. Humility leads to humbleness. Humbleness gives us the mental and spiritual freedom to explore improvement.

With the help of pessimism, becoming a more successful developer, person, and life long learner is much easier.
