Our attitude strongly affects how we view life: The optimist says his glass of water is half full; the pessimist says his glass of water is half empty.
Always look at the bright side of life, make yourself happy!
Socrates
was sitting outside of the gates of Athens when a man came up to him
and said, “I am thinking about moving into Athens. Can you please tell
me what it is like to live here?”
Socrates
replied, “I would be happy to tell you, but first would you please tell
me what it was like in your previous home city?”
The
man quickly roared, “Oh, it was awful. The people stab you in the back
and rob you blind. I am not leaving any friends, only enemies.”
Socrates frowned and sadly continued, “Well, you best be on your way because you will find the same thing here in Athens.”
A
little while later another man stopped to speak to Socrates and
inquired, “I was considering moving here to Athens. Can you tell me what
it is like to live here?” Socrates again replied, “I would be happy to
tell you, but first would you please tell me what it was like in your
previous home city?”
The
man smiled and said, “Where I come from the people all work together
and help each other. Kindness is everywhere and you are never treated
with anything but the utmost respect.”
“Welcome to Athens,” smiled Socrates, “You will find the same thing here.”
