My View On Attitude

It is impossible to overstate the importance of a healthy attitude. Actually, this is a lie; one could easily say "Without a healthy attitude, Brit-pop would be the only thing on MTV" or "Unhealthy attitude is the leading cause of cancer, leukemia, autism, OCD and Uwe Boll movies". Of course though, a healthy attitude is indeed important.

To save you the trouble of having to come up with your own perspectives and views on attitudes on Attitude, I've taken the liberty of writing the three major attitude varieties below. They are as follows: Optimism, Pessimism and MacGyver.

Scenario one: A glass, which only contains half capacity of water
Optimistic Response: The glass is half full
Pessimistic Response: The glass is half empty
MacGyver Response: The glass is twice as big as it needs to be

Scenario two: The loss of a left hand
Optimistic Response: At least I’m right handed!
Pessimistic Response: I’m only half as useful now!
MacGyver Response: All you need to make a new hand is some glue and toothpicks!

Scenario three: Breaking up with a loved one
Optimistic Response: It was for the best
Pessimistic Response: I’m nothing up without him/her/it
MacGyver Response: One new lover, coming right up…

Scenario four: A locked door with no key
Optimistic Response: We probably don’t need to know what’s behind it anyway
Pessimistic Response: Now another piece of the world shall remain a painful mystery
MacGyver Response: Lock picking!

Scenario five: The lights go out
Optimistic Response: I like the dark
Pessimistic Response: I hate the dark
MacGyver Response: It’s easy to make a new light bulb…
