About 15 years ago there was a saying that optimists are learning Russian now.

Pessimists Chinese.

How is learning Russian "optimism"?

Imagine a time when you need it (for example, your old language isn't spoken anymore where you live)

But wouldn't optimism be your old language making a comeback?

Try harder :) and read the 'pessimists' part, too.

I'm reading the pessimists part as China taking over the world, so learning Chinese is a survival thing. Learning Russian also seems like a survival thing of Russia takes over your part of the world.

If optimism for you is Putin instead of Winnie the Pooh, you must have a pretty awful base line.

Optimists learn English

Pessimists learn Chinese

Realists learn AK-47
