“A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel.A realist sees a freight train.The train drivers sees three idiots standing on the tracks.”
Way back in the day, in Vietnam when US Army HQ held a daily 5 o’clock briefing(follies) for the Press, the briefer often said, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Cost us over 55,000 lives, but we finally figured out that the light at the end of the tunnel was an oncoming train
