To start with, I perceive myself as an pure optimist, an attitude that sometimes annoys some of my friends. .. especially when Iget up in the morning with a big fat smile and start talking non-stop. .. in fact, this might lead to serious hostility deriving from those who are suffering from a hangover. ;-)
Nevertheless, I also try to challenge myself all the time, irrespective if I put on too much workload and might fail to handle it. But, I guess I need this kind of special "kick". So, I'll stop here otherwise you will fall asleep. ;-)
