CHEERS TO FULLY FILLED GLASS

CHEERS TO FULLY FILLED GLASS

The most important question that I forgot to answer before starting my blog would be -Why in the world would you choose the name  '' fullyfilledglass.blogspot.com  ?? "

Everyone would have heard a story where the two people were shown a glass which was half filled and half empty.Something like this:

The big question was asked to them- 'Is this glass half empty or half filled?'

The optimistic person says it is half filled and the pessimistic person says its half empty. This was a simple test of two types of people. I would answer that it is fully filled! Half with water and the other half with air. Considering that water and air both are scientifically fluids, the right answer is that it is always fully filled. This could be a different approach to the popular question that tests optimism. 

This answer could create a rather negative opinion in some people, that calling it fully filled is being unrealistically optimistic! On a lighter note, I could guess the answer to the big question for such people- half empty! 

Anthony Robbins says - 'Look at things the way they are. Not worse than they are nor way better than they are.' Well, I believe I am doing just as he says. Looking at the glass just the way it is- FULLY FILLED! 

Lets have some fun!Here is an elementary question: What if, water is the desired fluid in the glass and air is the undesirable one and you are suppose to remove air from the glass completely. How would you do it? 

On asking a few smarties, I was ask to take the glass in an isolated environment-vacuum. They further added that there will be no air. I had to disappoint them by saying that even water would vaporize in vacuum. So that is a bad choice. A man with a simple mind suggested that fill the glass with water. BINGO!

Simply fully filling the glass with water will eliminate air completely! Tie to get philosophical. I would now say, the glass is your mind, water is the positive thought and air is the negative thought. 

We struggle getting rid of negative thoughts like doubts, discouragement, jealousy, anger, fear etc. Any number of attempt to eliminate these thoughts will fail unless we add more water i.e. positive thoughts. Keep your mind brimming with positive thoughts and emotions and you shall never struggle to eliminate negative thoughts. Just pore in some water!

Negative thoughts are like air, they will fill every place that is empty! Just like the empty glass. This was my point in the last paragraph of an earlier post named 'Small Things That Are Significant'. An empty mind is devil's workshop!

It is important to fill your glasses! Fill your glass regularly because evaporation takes place even if the air comes in contact with water. I guess the name : 'fullyfilledglass.blogspot.com' is now justified. 

Cheers to fully filled glass!
