Glass Perspectives

Hey, here's an interesting analogy that I bet you've never heard:

- An optimist sees a glass half full of water.

- A pessimist sees the same glass as half empty.

- But a realist sees a once-full glass of water that is now on its way to becoming empty due to evaporation because there has been absolutely no effort made to retain the moisture in the glass and prevent loss. The result: The glass will soon prove of little value, and will be discarded.

To what do we attribute loss of the glass's value? The water? The glass? The glass's owner? The shop that sold the glass to the owner? The chemist that created the mixture of sand and heat that formed the material the glass is made out of? Evaporation?

Moral: Take responsibility for keeping your glass full, and you will never go thirsty.
