Pessimist or Realist?

Always be reminded to stay away from people who are dragging you down or try to discourage you from doing the thing that you do or wanted to do. But do we take sometimes to think and reflect if we are one of that people with that negative attitude?

When it is time for others to make decision for their own life, especially one with risk, we usually tell them not to do it instead encouraging them to take the new challenge. I wonder, is it an act of caring and worrying or is it an act of trying to stop people from achieving something greater in life?

Same thing goes when I'm with myself. When it comes to decision making that involves high risk, I always doubting myself. Am I not taking the risk as a precaution step from the adverse impact that might resulted from that decision? Or am I just stopping myself from succeeding in this life for not taking the risk?

Do I call that pessimistic or realistic? Sometimes, I don't know myself. I admit that I'm kinda pessimist but there were times when I just want to be realistic. What is the line between pessimistic and realistic? I really would like to know. Some say ask your own self, you actually have the answer yet you don't want to admit to that. I think only people with a pure heart can be honest with themselves. Me? I have long way to go to be in that state.

So, my question is how war can I go on being realistic but not fall to become a pessimistic?
