Here's a classic example of a glass that's half-full/half-empty -
On my way home to Manila, on the plane, I was seated beside, you won't believe it, a clinical lab scientist (CLS). There's gotta be a reason for this, that's another story.
Anyway, earlier on, Joe was looking at his watch and he said, "Boy, we've only flown 3 hours. We still have a long way home. We still have 11 hrs. to go."
I remarked, "We've already flown 3 hrs? That's not bad. We only have 11 hrs. to go!"
Later on, he says, " Wow, we're only half-way there."
And I said,"We're already half-way?"
Finally, he says, "Hey, we're getting close. We only have 2 hrs. left!"
Need I say more??
