are you GLASS HALF FULL or GLASS HALF EMPTY ?

I have always been a glass half full person….I am the person in my family that is always looking at the bright side of things and insisting that everything will get better.  I think this is a good thing because in my family I am the only one that thinks this way.  I usually get an eye roll or a laugh when I am being a cheerleader for the positive, but I think I make a good balance in our family. (again me being glass half full, right?)

I don’t understand the glass half empty attitude (I am sure just as they don’t understand mine)!  Why do you want to focus on the negative when things are what they are…..Shouldn’t we find the positive and move forward the best we can with the situation?

I have come across some interesting arguments that proves both sides may be wrong……

maybe the glass is not half full or half empty!
