Day 23 - Realist

OK, most people know what a pessimist and optimist are, but few realize what a realist is.  So here's an example that should explain it.

You put a glass 1/2 full of water and ask each of them how they see the glass of water:

Pessimist - that glass is 1/2 empty
Optimist - that glass is 1/2 full
Realist - it's a 1/2 glass of water.

Realists often see what is really there and not read into situation with their emotions.  I'd like to say I'm a Realist with optimism.  That's really the label I'm all about.  I see things plainly, but lately I try to see the good in the situation, no matter how bad it may make my heart feel.  But, it's a great way of seeing the world.

How about you?  How do you see it?
