Sample
When I first come across this picture, I was deeply impressed by its clever design.
In the picture, we can see two boys have different responses facing the situation where half a bottle of water is spilt. The boy on the left is disappointed standing there with his head hanging down, for he thinks there is nothing left. However, the boy on the right still feels delighted as he sees there is something left. So he reaches to pick it up.
This implies the boy wearing the blue shirt has a negative attitude. On the contrary, the boy in the orange shirt prefers to focus on the positive side. Obviously the same situation draws different conclusions depending on different attitudes.
Sample
The overall message we can take from this picture is when seemingly bad things happen, it is not always terrible. Don’t be too preoccupied with the bad. Instead, positively find some good from it. In this way, we will find that life is full of challenges but brings plenty of opportunities and joy.
