?Which word?

Do not confuse a realist (a person who sees things as they are) and an idealist (a person who believes in very high standards that may not be practical).

Realist (जो चीज़ों को वैसे ही देखता है जैसी वे हैं) और idealist (जो ऐसे ऊँचे आदर्शों में विश्वास करता है जो शायद व्यावहारिक न हों) में भ्रम न करें।
