Low or no expectations, low or no disappointments. Nobody has disappointed me yet.

The glass is either half full, half empty? Not me. I wonder who stole my beer.

Edit: If the glass holds 500cc and there is 250cc, it holds 250cc whether the glass is looked on as half full or half empty. You can say it is half full but what does that change? Say it is half empty? No difference. Still 250cc either way.
