It means how do you look at things, with a positive attitude or a negative one.
The glass being half empty means the negative said (aww, its half gone ) while the glass half full is the positive (hey look, I have half a glass full )

Then again theres another option with the glass half empty.
"Aww, its half gone, but it's ok I have more in the fridge"
So being while things are horrible, they can get better.

Or then you have "Hope for the best but plan for the worst"
Being hope that everything is good, but don't count on it

Maybe he's asking how we look at it?

My views:

It's a piece of hardened sand that has been formed into a cup-shape. It has Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms within it, bonded to form Water.
'Nuff said.


Also, "Hope for the best but plan for the worst"?
That's one way of saying that you're insecure in the fact that you think the worst will always happen, so if you plan and prepare yourself for it, and expect it to happen, it won't hurt as much when it does happen, if it does.

The phrase pretty much determines your outlook on general life: Pessimism, or Optimism.

I am a half glass full kinda person. I am dangerously optimistic.

I disagree Neyro. "Hope for the best but plan for the worst" has nothing to do with being insecure. I am a firm believer in Murphy's Laws. Preparing for the worst just means that you try to view all options and are ready for if and when things go wrong.

IMO It means optimism and pessimism i think. If you pick half full your an optimist and if you pick half empty your a pessimist. The trick is to pick the middle

why would you want to end up in the middle?

how is being neither an optimist or a pessimist a good thing?

I would prefer to live in a world of optimists personally.... we might actually accomplish a lot of good things if people in general were more positive in their outlooks on life.

although I think if you live in the world of inbetween then you could call yourself a realist. You don't look for the positive or negative in any situation... you just accept things for what they are and treat them as such. You don't waste time trying to make anything seem better or worse than it is.

I generally think I am. I am usually expecting better than average outcomes for my life.... but I am also very realistic in my expectations of things... so maybe I'm an optimistic realist

It's a trick question to give everyone the illusion of self-discovery. The real answer is that the glass is too big.
