This shall be a rather random post. Here goes.
I am pretty sure that many of us have heard before of the story about a 1/4 filled water bottle and the many different ways in which a person can look at it. One such way is that you can think of the bottle as " Hey there is 1/4 of water in the bootle! Thats great!" and alternatively you can think of it as "Oh dear, something is not right cause 3/4 of the bottle is not filled!". It really depends on how you want to think of it and how you want to accept it.
Well, many a times this story is used to encourage people to look on the bright side of things and its not really the end but ever thought of "you" being the one trying to tell the story, know of this story and truly follow it yourself? We keep telling such stories to friends and such, but when it comes down to performance indicators, do we ever see that the 1/4 of the bottle is filled? I am rather sure that most of the time, most, but not all, of us only can see that the 3/4 of the bottle is empty , little will we realise that there is actually this 1/4 of the bottle being filled. In fact, I feel that demands and expectation actually minimises the 1/4 such that it almost appear negligible to oneself. Isn't it such an irony for such a story which is suppose to be encouraging to not be accpeted in the eye of the performance analyser?
