The world belongs to...

Credit goes to Nathan, my brother, for reminding me of this quote from a book called "The Truth" by a very talented man, dare I say genius, by the name of Terry Pratchett. The book is all about the first newspaper in Ankh-Morpork. I'm not going to go more into the background of the book except for that it's one of the later books in a series of over 30 and that I'm only starting to scratch the surface of the world that Mr Pratchett has created.

Anyways, the quote.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!


Methinks it's time that we changed the way that we look at things, stop being content with what we're presented at face value and getting stuck into life!
