Half Full or Half Empty

A friend of mine who coaches in professional baseball told me this story the other day. I wanted to share it with you because I thought it was priceless. He was frustrated with a player’s inability to make a decision no matter if it was quick decision on the field or a simple day-to-day life decisions. So he decided to use the old glass of water metaphor. So he put a glass of water on the table between he and the payer. They started discussing what the player needed to do and when they came around to decision-making he asked the player it the glass was half full or half empty. The player answered both! End of meeting.
