Half of the Glass

Half of the Glass Is the looking glass over half(a) empty or half bountiful? This is a common question that many pile have asked themselves in the past. Depending on the person, thither argon 2 major(ip) answers. If the person is an optimist, the glass is half full. If the person is a pessimist, the glass is half empty. Winston Churchill once said, A pessimist sees the difficulty in every fortune an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. The pessimist is the more realistic and cautious person. The optimist is the more unworried easy oing person.Determining the differences between the dickens is simple. A person who is pessimistic is mortal who only thinks to the highest degree the negative side of situations. To a pessimist, if there is a get of rain, he volition only think about fill and storms. If his favourite hockey team is playing, he will only instruction on the fifty share chance of losing. If there is a chance that something can go wrong, the pess imist will spot it. But from an optimists point of view, there is al delegacys something positive that will rise from of an event.For example, although it was forecasted to rain, an optimist will think about the sun shining afterwards. He will think of the fifty percent chance of his favourite hockey team come afterning. There is always a positive side to his thinking. The two views both have their advantages and disadvantages. Imagine two men walking chain reactor a street. The man on the left(p) is smiling. It is thunderstorming yet hes got a skip in his step like Dorothy down a yellow brick road. The one on the right is frowning. Grumpily walking, he kicks a small dog in his path.Obviously these examples are exaggerated yet the point is, its a much easier and carefree life when you are an optimist. The powerfulness to see the positive in all situation is certainly a desired trait. But imagine this. Same street with same two guys only this time, its not raining. Its dooms day . The earth is spewing steaming lava across the road, meteors are go past from the sky, pack are frantically screaming for their sees, the whole deal. The man on the right is doing the sensible thing. Hes crying for his mommy and trying to find way to survive this nightmare.The guy on the left is still smiling. This storm will clear up soon he perks. In this situation its in all probability best to assume the worst. In the world, fifty four percent of people claim to be optimists. Twenty percent of people claim to be pessimists and twenty five percent are undecided or neutral. Its unearthly to think that more than half the world sees the glass half full. This may be due to its perks that pessimist cant provide. A life of optimism is a life of happiness, a life f no worries, a life of challenges and win win scenarios for every event.Whats interesting, though, is that studies have shown people who are pessimistic tend to live longer lives than others. When I am asked Is the gla ss half full or half empty? I reply with the following. Although the glass is half full with liquid, it is also half full with air. This can be turned around. The glass is half empty, void of liquid. It is also half empty, void of air. The two are complete opposites. In the end I look at the glass as it is. The glass is a glass. Just drink it. By vakenbear
