How are you?

Someone who, when asked "How are you?", would invariably respond "Marvellous", "Doing Great". And so what if he wasn't actually feeling that marvellous or great? Such a bright answer already created a positive impression on the other person and gave a feeling of things being good.

Now compare that to the answer I heard from someone else: "Not too bad" or "Okay". Not too bad? That immediately makes me feel that things ARE bad! What do you choose to answer when you are asked "How are you?"
