A couple had two boys. One was a complete pessimist and the other was a complete optimist. The parents couldn't get them to change their outlooks in the least. They went to a psychiatrist to get some advice.
The psychiatrist said we'll put the pessimist in a room full of the most wonderful toys. That will improve his outlook. The parents asked about the other son. The psychiatrist said we’ll let him see what his brother received, and then we'll put him in a room with a truckload of horse manure. That should cure him.
The parents agreed. After an hour went by, they checked on the brothers. The pessimist was crying. They asked him what was wrong, and he said, “I just know someone is going to take these toys away from me!”.
They looked in on the optimist. He was on top of the manure, flinging it over his shoulder as fast as he could. They asked him what he was doing. He replied, “I just know there’s a pony in here somewhere!”
