The Glass

"Stop asking if the glass is half full or half empty. Instead ask "What's in it? How did it get there? What can I do with it?"

-- David Kaufman

If the glass is half empty, you're considered pessimistic. If the glass if half full, you're optimistic. Your attitude about life will determine how you see the contents of the glass. Kaufman's point is right on. When it comes down to it, it really doesn't matter how full or empty the glass is. What counts is an understanding of the present ("What's in it?"), the past ("How did it get there?"), and more importantly, the future ("What can I do with it?).

Your attitude will definitely effect the way you'll perceive something (half full or half empty). In the long run, it doesn't matter if your glass if half empty or half full, what does matter is doing to work to figure out how you'll fill your glass, so not only will you have enough, but it overflows so that another person's glass may be full!

May your glass be continually overflowing!
