Glass 1/2 Full?

Or 1/2 empty?

Another way of asking the question is: “Are you an optimist or a pessimist?”

The irony is that both personalities can be successful.

Another irony is that both personality types can be a worry to loved ones.

IMPACT OF THE OPTIMIST Because the optimist always believes things will turn out well, he/she may get too caught up in all the positive thinking that hidden obstacles may go unnoticed.

Loved ones, who know of the positive approach to everything, feel an obligation to try to point out obstacles not being given their proper consideration.

IMPACT OF THE PESSIMIST This personality takes the opposite approach to opportunities. He/she takes a good, hard look at why things could go wrong.

This is not such a bad way of looking at it as long as a good opportunity is not discarded without considering its true potential.

Which are you?
