My friend and soon to be co-worker Scott told me about a fantastic Bill Cosby story. It was about a philosophy class that Bill took in college where the very intellectual class was discussing the idea of weather the “glass was half-full or half-empty.” A full class was spent with this one discussion and it was set to continue during the next class because it was sooooo very important and they were soooo very intellegent.
Well Bill wouldn’t have to wait until the next class to find the answer to the question. The answer came when the smart young college man was caught having to discuss the question with his grandmother. The answer was actually really easy.
“Is the glass half full, or half empty?
It depends on whether you’re pouring, or drinking.”
Fantastic.
So are you ADDING value or TAKING value? Are you contributing or just criticising everything from the sidelines? Are you – pouring or drinking?
