Being an economist, people often ask me, whether I am optimistic or pessimistic about the future. Now the luxury of language does not allow just for two answers, but for three: so I answer, I am neither "opti-" nor "pessi-" I remain "-mystic".

The future is not ours to see, as one of the famous songs sings, so I also refrain. But in personal life, and when it comes to present, and in everything, I am a OptiMyst. I am Mystically Optical and Optically Mystic. The past is past, the future is not here either, the only thing we have, is now, that is why it is called a "present".

The world is a mirror. If we frown, it frowns back.
