Very true. Although, it seems that the new world people like Americans and Australians are taught to be more optimistic. I had many run-ins with my old manager when I started working in the states. She didn't like me being so "negative" about things where I thought I was making some criticisms out of pure precaution. I've heard some American people complain how they were taught that the future would be rosy and they should be all positive about life but the reality turned out to be much much harsher and dismal. I have never heard of this type of complaints from a Japanese person before. I'm not sure about British people but personally haven't heard this from a British person either. I was taught that the future WILL BE harsh and I have the complete opposite complaint. They should have taught me that the world wouldn't be so bad.
