Is the glass half full or half empty? My teacher asked me this question yesterday. I answered it's half full. After that, she explained that it might show my attitude. If I see the water as half full, I probably look on the bright side of things. If I see it as half empty, I probably focus on the negative points. After hearing that, I considered myself a positive thinker.
