THE CUP HALF-FULL OR HALF-EMPTY? AND THE 3RD VIEW ❤️
#Responsibility, Proactivity, Positivity #JenCoaching
The first view—the first boy:
A boy went on a mission to buy a bottle of water for his mom. On his way home, he fell and lost half of the water. When he arrived, he cried and cried because he had lost half of the bottle.
The second view—the second boy:
Another boy went on the same mission and also had an accident, falling on the street. However, when he got home, he remained positive and told his mom, "Mom, I saved half of the bottle of water!"
The third view—the third boy:
The third boy also went on a mission to buy a bottle of water and fell on the street. When he got home, he told his mom, "Mom, I'm sorry I lost half of the bottle of water, but I saved the other half. And you know what? I will work today to earn the money to buy the other half for you."
And what about you? If you were the boy, which view would you choose?
We often refer to the concept of ‘the glass half-full or half-empty’ when discussing optimism and pessimism. But there’s also a third view—where we acknowledge both the half-full and the half-empty and take action. This is where positivity meets responsibility and proactivity.
The third boy demonstrates all three:
Positivity empowers us to see challenges as opportunities and seek solutions.
Responsibility empowers us to own the truth and learn from it.
Proactivity empowers us to take action and move forward.
Let’s embrace a week filled with positivity, responsibility, and proactivity!
