As George Carlin said: "Some say the glass is 1/2 empty, some say its 1/2 full, I say it's too big!" Translation - It's all about lowering your expectations folks, or at least trying real hard to find a bright side.
For example, you might say: "The cost of living is too high!"
I say: "Right now prices are as low as they'll ever be!"
You might say: "I'm dying! I won't last another six hours..."
I say: "Boo hoo, at least you dont have to go to work tomorrow."
You might say: "I went to college and the only job I can get is a circus clown!"
I say: "At least you never have to worry about how your hair looks!"
Remember, everything happens for a reason - even if the reason is to make your life miserable.
Cheers!
