One type of person approaches a situation with the mindset of, "How can I make this work?"

Another type seems to approach each circumstance with the mindset of, "What are all the reasons this wouldn't work?"

Both people will be forced to deal with reality, but the first person will only have to solve problems that actually occur while the second person will often avoid taking action entirely because of the potential problems they have dreamt up before starting.

There will always be reasons to not do something. Be a problem solver, not a problem adder.
