Poll question: Eternal optimist or glutton for punishment?
I just bought music books for my children...Disney and Harry Potter for the violin and Beginner's Christmas Favorites for the trumpet.

So...am I a glutton for punishment or an eternal optimist?

:scared:

1. If one is an eternal optimist then they become a glutton for punishment...
....the world is an imperfect place...if not for cynicism I'd be completely insane from what I've observed transpire globally in just the last 6 years alone....perspectives though...to each their own. :evilfrown:

2. Isn't "eternal optimist "and "glutton for punishment" the same answer?

4. That's what I was gonna say!
And of course, neither option precludes "doomed", either!

But, as a 'glutton for punishment' myself, I gotta say
that the times when things work out really make it
all worthwhile!
