All about Perspective

Actually more of a fan of Tres Generacions or Don Julio

Haha. That's right.

:)

I was going to say something about sticking your finger in it but then I thought better of it :-D

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*)

(Its**)

STILL WHINING! :-(...

Good meme, 2tru

:)

That's good!

LOL

The Realist should say "Yep, that's a half a glass of water" (or what ever liquid it has).

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 :)

:)

Nah, get out there and get that glass filled!

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.
