Be +


Some say that positivity is "seeing the glass as half full" as opposed to "half empty."

Others claim that positive people wear "rose-tinted glasses" that splash the world out with a subtle happy pink glow.. 

The status quo in life seems to concede with the fact that "positive people live longer," and that when you "تفالئوا بالخير تجدوا".. 

I believe that positivity is an outlook, it's not something you wear to block out negativities and wash the world in a terrific pinkish hue, nor is it lying to one's self about the fact that the glass is half full; how can it be half full, when it was full and you just slurped it making it half empty? 

I learnt a bit or two about positivity yesterday in the pool.. 

Yes, in the swimming pool, with my little brother, as we played with his toy-ship.. 

Positivity, Ladies and Gentlemen, is playing submarines with the ship you just played pirates with after it had drowned.. 

He switched games automatically and began to dive after his ship, that had accumulated water, and began to drown; but instead of lamenting it's sudden submerging and attempting to de-flood the vessel, he pretended it was a submarine instead.. 

Positivity is seeing the good in the bad; "رب ضارة نافعه" 

You can learn a lot of things from the most random people and places, in this case a ten-year old lego fanatic in a pool..
