Using Your Power of Positive Thinking

It is pouring rain. Two guys are looking out the window. "Darn," says one of them, "look at that ugly weather. I hate it when it rains! I can’t play any golf, can’t get outside. There is just nothing to do!" With that, he angrily withdraws to himself and holds a negative attitude the whole day.
"Wow, look at that beautiful rain," says the other one. "It is perfect. I can finally pick up my favorite book and read. It is great for the grass, too." With that, he happily moves on, keeping the positive attitude the whole day.
In this scenario we had two different guys with two different attitudes. One became negative, while the other one remained positive, through the same exact circumstance. One’s day was ruined, while the other’s remained perfect, just by the different way they looked at the same event.
Did either one of them change the weather? No. So, why not just be the positive guy and go on in life looking at the bright side of everything. The half empty glass is always half full!
