THE "PEPTIMIST"

\ n optimist is man who believes that
4 the seed he plants in the garden will
grow and look as good as the pictures on
me package.
A pessimst stands beneath the tree Of
prosperity and growls when the fruit falls
IN his head.
A "peptimist" is the happy medium be-
.ween these two.
He doesn't believe, with the optimist, that
he seeds will produce something equal to
he picture on the package; but he does
believe they will grow and bring some re-
urn for his labor
Should the fruit from the tree of pros
)erity fall on his head, he rubs the bump and
.grabs the fruit.
When the weather reports say: Fair and
Warmer" he believes it-and carries his
srnbrella.
Like the optimist, he sees the bright side
IT things, and goes ahead, but he also sees
ne dark side and prepares to meet it.
And herein lies his success-looking not
lone on the bright side, nor yet on the dark,
ut seeing both sides clearly-he weighs each
+. tuation carefully and is prepared.
