Which are you?

Optimist is someone who always looks on the good side of things. Example: Just before an exam you believe you can pass.

Pessimist is someone who always looks on the bad side of things. Example: Just before you sit an exam you think you will fail.

I'm an optimist in life, but can be pessimistic at times as well.

I'm quite an optimist ... I usually try and think of the good side and how things CAN be DONE and not failed, I believe this is a good confidence boost too.

However if it's an unreal challenge I probably wont ... but I enjoy a bit of a challenge.

I'm a realist. Sometimes that comes across as pessimism, sometimes as optimisim. In the example in the OP I'd probably come across as an optimist.
