Often in college (and on the TOEFL and GMAT!) we have to respond to quotes. We will have a few journal entries where you can react to these. Here's the first one:
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
Prompt: What does this quote mean? Do you agree with it? How does it apply to your life? Are you generally optimistic or pessimistic? Give an example.

Note: A famous example of pessimism and optimism is the question, "Is the glass half empty or half full?"
"The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist the hole",
