Your asked to sit at a table where a glass has some water poured into it.



Your then given one of two choices to describe what you see in the relation to the glass & the water.



Is it half Empty



or



Is it half Full



According to which answer you give..you are then described as having an Optimistic outlook on life as opposed to a Pessimistic outlook..



So which answer would you give ?



Are you the type who sees things as half empty ?

or the type that sees things as half full..?

    I drink the water because I'm thirsty and tell the idiot sitting across the table to stop judging me with simplistic tests that are nothing more than ridiculous cliches.

    Of course the answer is simple. When it is first poured, it is half full. If it was full and half was removed, then it is half empty. End of discussion. Go home. Nothing to see here.

    Maybe I should post 10 threads a day to balance things out. All of them could be:



    Hmm, I don't find this interesting.



    I don't like it.



    Link.



    Nope doesn't interest me at all.



    Cheers,

    Oooh, or how about this:



    I just would like to share with you (for the billionth time) how accepting the unknown gives me strength. I'm not evangelizing I'm just saying that if you believe what I believe you will be more happy. Find the unknown! He could be hiding under your pillow! You'll never experience the joy I feel embracing the unknown every day!



    Remember, I'm not evangelizing I'm just saying do what I say and you'll be happy.



    Cheers,

    BR

    I forget who around here had that tagline but I always like it because it was a different way of thinking.



    The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

    Given that your an " optimist " by your own millionare post..

    ( which by the way coincidently refers to millionaires as seeing the glass as half full.)



    Then I reckon that you'd make one of those old fashioned benovolent millioniare types that used to do America proud...

    What ever happened to them ?\
