Answer 1

Hmmm, I hope for the best and plan for the worst. So, I guess I look at it both ways, just to be thorough. LOL But as long as it's Malibu rum in the glass, it will be empty soon. LOL

Answer 2

My glass is half full, how full is yours?"
the optimist say "Half-full," and the pessimist say "Half-empty,The pessimist will expect the worst to happen. They don't want to get their hopes up so they'll never be disappointed. And they rarely are. Since they're looking for the worst, they'll generally find it. If a negative thinker receives a compliment at work, he'll brush it off, figuring it was a fluke and will never happen again. Since they expect the worst, they don't use their resources to discover a solution. Their life becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, they give up and become stuck where they are.

Conversely, the optimist will look on the bright side, and find it. They're the ones that "make lemons into lemonade." Since they look for a way to turn a disaster into an opportunity, they'll generally create a way to do so. If a person with a positive attitude is praised for a project well done, he'll accept the congratulations and appreciate it. Optimists expect life to improve, so they look for solutions and take action.

There is a difference between pessimism and realism. Suppose you have just enough in your bank account to pay all of your bills. A pessimist may get depressed over this state of affairs, and decide that "I don't have any extra money for fun, and the situation will never get any better," which simply tells the subconscious not to find a way to improve the situation. Someone who is too optimistic may choose to spend some of their income on a good dinner, believing that something will turn up to recoup the money before the bills are due. That's when a realistic attitude is helpful. A realistic optimist will think "Wow, there's enough money to pay the bills this month. And since there's nothing constant in the Universe but change, my financial situation will get better," instructing their creative mind to keep working on a solution.

Pessimism is actually stressful and hard on the body. . Many people think that if they're an optimist or pessimist, it's a permanent condition. Not so. Optimists are not born,
Being optimistic doesn't mean that a person is a Pollyanna, wears rose-colored glasses and never recognizes that something is difficult, hurtful, or sad. It just means that they don't dwell on it. They choose to focus on the good in life, and look for a way for things to improve. In doing so, they're instructing their creative mind to find a way to turn the obstacles into a benefit. The Chinese character for "challenge" is the same as the character for "opportunity."

Becoming an optimist means changing the way you focus on the events in your life. Listen to what you tell yourself about things. Are they negative? Are they actually accurate? For instance, if a friend betrays you, do you think, "I can't trust any of my friends, and I'll never find a friend I can trust?" Simply because one friend betrayed you doesn't mean that all of them are disloyal. Challenge your own negative beliefs and attitudes. They are not facts. They are simply how you have been trained to think about a situation. If you have been trained one way, you can train yourself to think about it differently.
I'm learning more and more to pay attention to my feelings about who can be trusted. There are lots of nice people with integrity in the world, and I can meet them." This changes the focus of your attention from "no solution" to "solutions are available."
Just as when a person sees the glass half-empty or half-full, altering the focus can change your filters. When you change your filters, this transforms the way you perceive life. So, instead of seeing the glass as half-empty, you can begin to see the opportunities of the glass being half-full.

Answer 3

YOU SIR, are in Error! Your Assume, "FACTS NOT IN TRUTH OR IN EVIDENCE!"

DEPENDING on the Previous state of the Glass, WHEN THE QUESTION was asked, "Half Full or Half Empty"

One will take a glass out of its storage cabinet and the glass will be EMPTY!

A DRINK is added to the EMPTY Glass TO bring to level to FULL, = Half Full = or some where IN BETWEEN = Full and Empty!

All of US, Yes we Christians can see through Your Hypocrisy as you choose to Slander us with your Pseudo Questions!

I can only share with you what GOD said!

(Acts 17:30-31) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; = = but now = = commandeth all men every where to repent:

(Acts 17:31) Because he hath appointed a day, in the which = = he will judge the world in righteousness = = by that man whom he hath ordained; = = whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, = = in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Take that Logic and FIT IT INTO YOUR "glass?"

Thanks, RR

Answer 5

Probably because Christianity offers hope. However, one can be a half empty Christian or a half full agnostic / atheist.

Answer 6

how can u say that agnostics are 'galss is half empty' people.
i strongly refute this.
agnostics believe in themselves.
they are their own god
these sort of people tend to be more optimistic
the reason is they cant blame god for their follies and since, they dont have anyone to blame, they tend to be more perfect
they c others shift their sorrows onto god and advice them (optimistic advices)
and 'glass is half full' is as optimistic as it gets

i m agnostic
and ya, i am 'a glass is half full' kind of person
