It doesn't matter whether the glass is half
full or half empty. What matters is whether you drink it up. #QuoteADay #Day281 #edchat #edu
Whether optimist or pessimist, you’re still missing the
point. It is never about whether the
glass is half empty or half full. To be
honest, we shouldn’t be worried about such things.
What we should care about, and the mark of the best leaders,
is whether we embrace what we have, and drink it up.
The best leaders realize that they can’t change some things,
and whether they are “resource rich” or “resource poor” they have to make the
most of what they have, and do the best they can for those they serve.
When we spend time worrying about whether the glass is half
empty or full, we tend to ignore what is in the glass, and therefore we tend to
miss the fact that we do have something, and our charge is to work with that
“something” to do the best we can.
In fact, we need to start ignoring the glass (remember, a
smaller glass could be filled to the brim with what we
have, and a larger glass more empty; it is all relative), and just focus on its
content (water is water, wine is wine, no matter what vessel we put it
in). By focusing on what we have,
instead of how much we have of it, we’re positioning ourselves to focus on
what’s most important.
