THE CUP HALF-FULL or HALF-EMPTY? 'AND' THE 3RD VIEW

THE CUP HALF-FULL or HALF-EMPTY? 'AND' THE 3RD VIEW

#Responsibility, Proactivity, Positivity #jencoaching

The first view - the first boy: There is a boy who went on a mission to buy a bottle of water for his mom, but he fell on the street on the way back home and lost half of the bottle of water. When he arrived home, he cried, cried, cried because he lost half of the bottle of water.

The 2nd view - the 2nd boy: Another boy went on the same mission and also had an accident, falling down on the street. However, he went home and remained positive, telling his mom, "Mom, I saved half of the bottle of water."

The 3rd view - the 3rd boy: The third boy also went on a mission to buy a bottle of water and fell on the street again. He went home and told his mom, "Mom, I'm sorry, I lost half of the bottle of water, but I saved another half. And you know what? I will work today to earn the money to buy the other half of the water bottle for you."

And your view? if you were the boy?

We often refer to the concept of 'The glass half-full or half-empty' concerning being optimistic or pessimistic. We can also see the view where we see both 'half-full and half-empty', and then we take action upon it. We call it positivity comes with responsibility and proactivity.

The third boy has a positive view, as well as taking responsibility and being proactive in taking action based on the lessons we learn through our experiences.

A positive view empowers us to see challenges as gifts and look for solutions.

Responsibility empowers us to take responsibility for the truth.

Proactivity empowers us to take action to move forward.

A great week for us with positivity, responsibility, and proactivity.
