Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.

I'm so optimistic, I'd go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tartar sauce with me.

Remember that failure is an event, not a person
