For example, if you get a bunch of grapes, one kind of person will eat the best ones first, while the other kind of person will save the best ones for last. As a rule, the first kind of person should be optimistic, because every time he eats one, he is eating the best of the leftover grapes; the second kind of person should be pessimistic, because every time he eats one, he is eating the worst of the leftover grapes. But in fact, it is just the opposite, because the second kind of person still has hope, and the first kind of person only has memories.
