An optimist sees the glass as half full. A pessimist sees the glass as half empty. An engineer sees a glass that's too big for it's purpose.

Never heard that before but it totally makes sense :)

An entrepreneur sees an opportunity to get more.

The opportunist drinks the glass. The chemist laughs because he switched out the water with hydrochloric acid.
(And it's*)

The Realist should say "Yep, that's a half a glass of water" (or what ever liquid it has).
reply
Yeah true. A realist would probably just make a realistic observation lol

That's why I consider myself a Realist. Optimism can be just as damaging as Pessimism. I always say "Blind optimism leads to disappointment. Best to see things as they are then try for a better outcome".

I never saw that as "pessimism" or "optimism" if you are talking about actual cups of actual liquids.
When your cup is half-empty then the cup is being drained. It's halfway to its goal.
When your cup is half-full then the cup is being filled.
Just depends on which way the water is going.
Now, if you apply this standard to a person's life and their metaphorical cup is metaphorically half-empty and they say it's half-full then THAT is optimism.

Metaphorically speaking :)

There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full.
And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say:
‘What’s up with this glass?
Excuse me?
Excuse me?
This is my glass?
I don’t think so.
My glass was full!
And it was a bigger glass!
And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass), or who has no glass at all, because they were at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman’s eye.
