About 15 years ago there was a saying that optimists are learning Russian now.
Pessimists Chinese.
How is learning Russian "optimism"?
Imagine a time when you need it (for example, your old language isn't spoken anymore where you live)
But wouldn't optimism be your old language making a comeback?
Try harder :) and read the 'pessimists' part, too.
I'm reading the pessimists part as China taking over the world, so learning Chinese is a survival thing. Learning Russian also seems like a survival thing of Russia takes over your part of the world.
If optimism for you is Putin instead of Winnie the Pooh, you must have a pretty awful base line.
