Two Thoughts I Thought

Thought 1:

"I take my work very seriously but I take myself more seriously than my work."

Couple this with what I have always believed:
"I don't take myself too seriosuly."
And it does not reflect the correct results - Or does it?? (So, is there a disconnect somewhere??)

Thought 2:

"Being a Pessimist half the time and an optimist half the time enables me to be a Realist all the time."


Both of the above are an outcome of a bemused mind - I never fail to boggle myself!!!
