00:00Sir, should one be pessimist or optimist?
00:03Not pessimist, not optimist, things as they are, facts as they are, in all their truth and nakedness.
00:11So here's an equation in front of you, a simple quadratic or a set of two linear equations, simultaneous equations.
00:19And the question is, find X.
00:21So this is the optimist side and this is the pessimist side.
00:24The optimist side says, you know, if I have to find X, let X be big.
00:29Live life king size.
00:30So this one says, X is 1 million.
00:33And this side says, no, no, I know my X was such a cheat.
00:38I know five X's and they are all rotten always.
00:41So one says X is 0, the other is a little liberal.
00:44So X is 0.1.
00:45These are the pessimists.
00:47Would life give any marks to either of these?
00:49The equation is right in front of you.
00:53Attend to it, look into it, get into it, address the facts and know the reality.
00:58Why do you need optimism or pessimism?
