Glass Half-full or Half Empty?
Am I a glass half-full or hal-empty kind of person?

It's an interesting question to ponder as I sit at my computer waiting for it to be 1030 in Costa Rica, which is 0030 in China, so that I can do a skype job interview. I am hoping to get a job in Costa Rica so that I can leave this rather boring school in China.

Anyway, there's an old expression that I rather like. It's Don't tell me worrying doesn't help. When I worry about things, they don't happen.
That's basically my philosophy for getting through stress. I spend a lot of time worrying that things will go wrong, and then I find myself thinking that they probably won't go wrong, because I've worried so much about them.

Put another way, by stressing out about how the glass is half-empty, I convince myself that the glass is half-full.

Confusing?

Maybe, but it works for me.
