You need a bit of both to be human. There are situations where it is better to see the bright side of things in order to lift yourself up and there are situations where you need to be realistic. Your vision needs to be achievable and realistic, you cannot just view everything with a colorful lens as that will block out issues that need to be fixed. However, if I must choose one, I would say realistic because you can still survive without needing to be hopeful and seeing the bright side of life all the time.

Its better to be realistic than to be optimistic because if your not realistic then you wont get no where in life. For example if your grades are terrible and you apply to a amazing colleges and its obvious that you wont get excepted, then your setting yourself up for failer.

For me, I think it’s much better to be a little optimistic in some cases to be able to work even harder on something you want, no matter how impossible it sounds. For example, if someone wants to be an astronaut, maybe it sounds like something impossible, worse if you are optimistic, maybe you try harder to achieve that dream.

I think its better to be realistic because its better to prepare yourself for the future instead of always being hopeful that everything will work out because it wont at some point for you. Being realistic is better because your not in a utopian world where everything is perfect but sure its fine to have some hope but dont have that mindset so that you wont get hurt or set yourself up its better to expect the unexpected and you should be able to realize that.

I think its better to be more realistic than optimistic because even if reality might not be the best its the sad truth that you have to accept. However, I do think you can be hopeful and think positive as there is not always negative.

It's better to be optimistic than realistic because being realistic is an excuse to stay in your comfort zone and be pessimistic. Optimism is what helps you branch out and accomplish things you'd never be able to if you remained "realistic". For example, if you tell yourself you'll never be able to drive and that it's dangerous or hard then you'll never push yourself to do it. You have to tell yourself that you'll be okay and you'll live and learn.

I think it's better to be both because it really depends on the situation. You can be optimistic, but sometimes some goals or ideas can be difficult to achieve so you got to be realistic about it.

It is best to be realistic, but that doesn't mean that you have to be pessimistic. You have to approach things in a way that is achievable but you don't always have to be negative.

Being realistic is better because being optimistic can blind you and block you from the reality.

For me is better to be realistic because you cant really survive in the world by just being optimistic.

I think is better to be more realistic than optimistic because I feel that you can still have a lot of optimism even while having a realistic mindset. For instance, if you go to a job interview, you can be realistic about it and know that it is possible that you don't get the job, but you can still have optimism going into an interview.

I believe it's better to be realistic rather than optimistic since in reality you can't always be positive at times life gets tough and hard to deal with, being real is part of living and the faster you accept the better you will be able to deal with it.

I feel like it's better to be optimistic but not too much. If you're too optimistic to the point that you can never acknowledge the truth. It's good to be realistic but still know that the realistic thing may happen.

It's better to be Realistic because you will know how life really works. Being Optimistic can lead you to a bad path without you wanting to or knowing. That's because you see everything like a Spongebob world and not how it actually is.

It's better to lean towards realism the older you get. It's great to be optimistic and happy at a young age, but as you get older, you should start to see the world as it really is, and view it with a realistic critical lens.

I believe being realistic is better. Optimism is fine but it isnt always whats going to occur in real life. Being realistic leaves less opportunity for being disappointed.

In my personal opinion, it is better to be optimistic than realistic because reality sucks. There was a time period where I used to always watch the news and make it a habbit to keep myself informed and therefore realistic and that was just me and who I was. I found that this outlook on life had a negatie impact on me, made me more sad in the fact where I could not enjoy life the way that I wanted to becuase I was forced to feel like reality sucks when thats not the case. I changed this, now I keep myself informed to an extent allowing me to keep optimism in my mind allowing me to be a very happy person. I make it a habit to eliminate pessimist from my mindspace as I do not like that genre of people.

its good to be both, not too optimistic and not too realistic. i feel like this because you have to be realistic because we are in the real world with real people, but its also good to be optimistic because its good to hope and want something that can be in reach
