About your "About me" :) So, if your aim is never be disappointed, you won't gain something out of your life. It's a risk game. The word risk embraces all good and bad. No need for pessimism or optimism, just examine the possibilities, find out worst and best, think of them, pick a route and take your risk. If it won't come out as you predicted, it's ok, it's not special, pick another route and take another risk :)
