do you see it as half full or half empty?

Dedicated to my dear friend Kartik
As we watch our glass being filled with water, do you look at it as being half empty or half full?
I believe when you say it is being half empty, you are having negative thoughts all the time. I think human are being born persismistic as the majority will say it is half empty. I myself is such person. One day, i was getting my hair cut at some salon which promised that a haircut will be done in 10 min and professionally finished. So i went there to cut my hair. The barber, i think desperate of a topic, start to converse with me on job. I commented that he is lucky as he has a stable job with a steady flow of income. And the fact that hairstyling itself is a skill, he can be sure of jobs in near future.
However he told me he rather be someone who earn by commissions. I laugh it off as i shrugged at the idea of not having a steady income. But what the barber said next joltted me. "Look, if today i cut 10 head, i will still be earning $1000. If tomorrow i cut 20 head, i will still be earning $1000. So what is the point of having a fixed income? But if i am a housing agent or salesman. If i can close 10 deals, i earn a certain amount of money. But if i close 20 deals, i will be earning a higher amount of money and the crux is, i will be earning more!"
This enlightened me. This guy has just make me see my glass of water as half full instead of half empty. And i should say he is this person who aided me indirectly into shaping my ideas and goals.
So friend, when the act which you perceive as mocking you. Actually we aren't You see, when you begin to feel for somebody and treat him as a friend, first your attention will be closely fix to him. That is when you will notice his every little move. Just like when a boy like a girl, he will be extra attentive to her every moves.
Often, you do not focus your attention to someone whom you do not know and worse, you do not like. So when we began to tease someone of their perhaps habits or anything, this is the excellent testimonial that your friends have notice you long enough in order to make that judgement. Of cos you will fee perhaps resentful as you might be feeling uncomfy and wish this to stop. A good thing is to shrug it off and instead, laugh with the others! This is a good way to make yourself happy and embrace in the loving arm of your friends.
The aboved is when you see the glass as being half full. But when you see the glass as half empty, you will be sad, angry or worse, blow your top. And when you are sad, your cells die faster, which in turn you age faster. You will be full of vengence. When you blow your top and when the dust settled, you will feel your friends will start to guard against you and do not treat you like before, not as friendly, not as cheerful.
This is because when you blow your top, you are making your friends feel uncomfy and embarrassed. Soon, you will feel they would joke with you less, would not share things with you.

So my friends, view everything as half full rather as half empty.
