half empty or half full..? isn't it just the same..? well, my mentor said, we should always be like an empty glass...always ready to accept the wisdom being taught to us..i am an optimistic person, 'cause i strongly believe that everything that happens around us has their purposes why they happened..

why you don't believe that everything happens for a reason..? i had so many experiences 'bout that matter.. some things that initially, wasn't good for me, but in the end, something good happened because of that "incident"!

Well...if it means something is happening for a reason because of GODS plan, then I would agree. But whenever I hear that phrase I never hear GOD'S name associated with it.

Yes...in the USA they said be like a sponge and soak up wisdom. I never believed everything happens for a reason...maybe thats a good topic to make a discussion with.

hi menace,
i guess there is always a time in one's life when their glass feels empty. but with positive outlook everything will get into place and the glass starts to get filled - half full and then sometimes full too.
it is just a matter of being optimistic of good things to come.
when i feel down, i just pray for good things to come and have faith that it would come soon.

It's always important to look at things positively. Like for instance, "They deleted my discussion?! Well, at least I still have my account."

I try to be half full, look everything from the positive side. BUt I'm only human, I'm not perfect, sometimes people can influence me from seeing good to be bad, from positive to be negative. It's really important to have someone right with us

Logically speaking positive attitude always help
But practically the glass is empty or full keeps on varying with circumstances
Positive attitude is not a behavior which one inherits
it is a regular improvement
at times when we are really very depressed the glass seem sto be empty only
Dont take me wrong but this is my experience although i also favour a lot of positive attitude

Loin the club in212857...I think we all try for the positive but the negative seems to always get in the way.

i can say that my glass full in any way...full of happiness which i share, sadness that i openly shared with my partner inlife which been very supportive of me. I always think of positive things, becoz i believe that when we dream of something, we will achieve it with perseverance and faith. we will achieve our goals.

Great topic;
My glass was full when I was born with such cooperative parents and now I have a wife with a heavenly behaviour. I consider that my glass has never been empty at all.

Some say that it's the nature of man to always look for imperfections in life.
I must admit that there are times when I look at the outside world, I get too pessimistic and complain about life.
But whenever my eyes start to gaze upon my family, I'd look up, and realize the beauty of life. My glass has always been full.I just needed to clear up my eyes sometimes.
