Imagine for a moment a glass of water filled up just to the half or the middle only. How do you see the glass of water? Would you say that it's half full or half empty? Usually, someone says that if you see it half full, you are a positive thinker. But, if you see it half empty, your thoughts might be negative.
This is an old test already done by many people to see whether we are positive or negative. Sometimes, it might depend only of the frame of mind that day you observe the glass of water. Perhaps, it's the sample mostly used everywhere.
Do you know any other similar samples? And how is your position: positive or negative?

Without having to think I'd always say it's half empty. I have to admit I am very negative person, I tend to think negatively most of the time, I think it's depends on how your life has turned out, whether you've had a happy life or a unhappy one, people, the environment, your family, friends all affect how you think, now if you've had positive role models in your life, and you've sailed along the ocean of life without turbulence you tend to have a different approach. I know positive behaviour attracts positive behaviour and as does negativity draws negativity. It's also to do with core beliefs and how we value ourselves internally which creates a negative or indeed a positive aspect in life.

I have one question to you: don't you think that we have influence about what happens to each of us? In my opinion, every person may decide on her or his own whe she or he wants to react or to respond to everything what happens in life. There is the difference of the result, if your surrounding has got any influence about you or if you influence about the rest of the world. You say that it depends on how your life has turned out. I think, it depends how you turn out your life. It's practically the difference between staying passiv or being activ. Everyone may decide if we want to give the answer to what we see or if we want to influence about what's going to happen. You have the opportunity to decide which way do you want to take depending of the result you wish.
