The other day a friend said to me, “A realist is a pessimist in disguise”. I thought about it for a minute and it started to resonate. One persons fear is another person’s reality. When someone tries to talk you out of something and says, “I’m just being a realist” there secretly saying, I’m afraid to do what it s that you are trying to do. Being a “realist” puts a ceiling on natural progress. Instead of being real, be undeniable! Be purposeful and extraordinarily zealous! Live beyond the realm of comprehension in between passion and insanity. Because being a “realist” just isn’t good enough.

let a realist do his job! (circa Katt Williams) ... but I agree that you have to be able to distinguish between someone being real and someone just saying you can't do something. Your dreams are supposed to be "unrealistic." The plans you gotta implement to get to them are what has to be realistic.
Do not agree. Realist, pessimist, not the same thing. They have different approaches.
