Half empty folks don't last long in this business. It is in our best interest to be eternal optimists! It seems folks have avoided answering your question (probably for fear of offending someone in this politically correct, incorrect world.)  But just by reading the answers, it is clear to see their views. And they are overwhelmingly half full. HA! :)

Positive thinking breeds success. Therefore to always look at the positive, breeds more postive results and vice versa.  Being negative will hurt your business in the end.

I am an overflowing sort of person.

However, if I pay too much attention to things beyond my control, "THE WORLD" my life energy would be depleted and I would be of little use to anyone.

Without doubt, there is ALWAYS an opposing view to anything someone may state, even as basic as is 'BAD' bad?

I have found you can share world views but only if you FIRST establish clearly what is agreed on by those in the conversation.

Such as, all people's in every place have the same hope:

  1. Prosperiety for their children
  2. Good health
  3. Peace

From the place of agreement you can share what burdens your heart. Share your view only after the 3rd squeeze.

I have so much for which to be thankful that I do not even notice my bottle is less than full.  I prefer to notice the one providing the bottle, and seldom do I allow a negative person to set the focus of my day.

I wish I could block out the nonsense in Washington DC, not because it makes me negative, but because it makes me feel like I am at a picnic and the ants are into everything.  Well, I will concentrate on the beautiful sunset.

I always try to be a half full positive type of person. Sometimes before I leave to go on an appointment or go to an event, I visualize how I want that event to go.
I see some of my friends have everything go wrong for them on a continual basis. Just small things that end up messing up their day. I don't want that to happen to me and I have found it really works to set up my energy before I head out. Even for driving and having a peaceful drive. Sometimes it seems like the road is being cleared of cars, just for me. So my glass is always half full! Expect things to go well & they will!

I believe those who sees it half empty...hurts their business. On the other hand, those who always see things half full, have a very successful business. It is a matter of how we see things and what we want to achieve. I will be honest, many times I am seeing things half empty and not appreciating what I have accomplished.
