One's attitude regarding circumstances and people depends upon their attitude and what they are looking for...positive things or negative things,

A woman with a beautiful rose garden has two neighbors...one an optimist and the other a pessimist.

She invites the optimist over to have cookies..the optimist looks out her large window and states: "what a beautiful rose garden you have", eats some cookies then leaves.

The neighbor then invites the pessimist over....She looks out the window and states,"your window certainly is dirty!"
