Is the glass half full or half empty?



We have all heard this old expression. Those that see the glass as half full are generally optimist and those that see the glass as half empty are generally pessimists.

Being an optimist is one who sees a problem as an opportunity and pessimist see a problem as an obstacle that can’t be overcome. So who do you think are the successful people in this world? You guessed it , optimists.

Being an optimist doesn’t mean you do stupid things, but rather attack problems with an attitude of knowing there is a way to overcome the obstacles. You have heard the term the power of positive thinking. Whatever it is being positive helps keep people focused on the issue at hand and work to overcome it.

If all you can say is it won’t work or why try when we can’t win anyway, then guess what you’ll be right. Henry Ford said “if you think you can't then you won't, but if you think you can you will”. There is so much truth in that statement.

If more people would see things as half full, we would have a much better world, because we would be solving problems rather than complaining about them.

My challenge to everyone is be an optimist and make things happen, your live will be so much more rewarding for it.
