I recently read this article from Elite Daily called "5 Quotes from Billionaire Mark Cuban That Will Inspire You to Work Your Ass Off" (good article, you can check it out here). I loved all the quotes:
"Work like there is someone working 24 hours away to take it away from you."
"It's not in the dreaming, it's in the doing."
"Doesn't matter if the glass is half-empty or half-full. All that matters is that you are the one pouring the water."
"Wherever I see people doing something the way it's always been done, the way it's 'supposed' to be done, following the same old trends, well, that's just a big red flag to me to go look somewhere else."
"Every no gets me closer to a yes."
The quote that especially caught my attention is "Doesn't matter if the glass is half-empty or half-full. All that matters is that you are the one pouring the water."
Wow. What a powerful concept.
No matter what, you're in control of yourself. You control if you want to see things in one light or another. And most importantly, you choose how much water you're pouring in. As we go through trials throughout life, whether in the professional field or general life, we still have the power to control our emotions, decisions, and outlooks, and how much that will control us. We still pour the water.
I think I'd rather throw the glass of water away completely, and focus on life instead. To focus on that thrill of something new every second, no matter how it manifests itself.
