"I am a pessimist by nature. It is after all the wisest way to be. We pessimists have everything to gain, whereas optimists have a fifty-fifty chance of being disappointed." - Tamar Myers
Carter Samuels was a pessimist. It wasn't that she was afraid to take chances or risks. No, it was her view towards other people and the disappointment they bring.
In order to explain her mindset, she created a journal. "The rules of being a pessimist". This journal would cover exactly what she thought about life, and once finished she would give it to the one person who could change everything she had ever written.
