Excellent Advice

I'm reading Pete Townshend's autobiography.

At one point in his life he wrote letters that he never sent - they were never meant to be sent. He wrote them for himself.

On his son's first birthday he wrote to him: "Be a pessimist. It is the safest, most pragmatic way to be. Being an optimist may enrich the lives of others ( with good cheer and smiling), but it leads you unaware to danger."
