"Some people want to put us into a category.
Some people only feel good
when they know where they fit.
Are you an optimist?
A pessimist?
Really, there’s only one right answer.
You have to be an optimist.
Otherwise you’re a drag.
No fun to be around. Dr. Death.
And a new term, you’re from the “Doomsphere.”
In the past, we were taught to note our worldview
by looking at a glass of water.
Is the glass half empty? Is it half full?
Your answer defines your identity:
Gloom and doom or hopeful
and great to hangout with.
What a nonsensical question this is.
Is the glass half full or half empty?
Who cares?!
The right question for Warriors is:
Who needs the water and how can we get it to them?
What is the work that needs doing and how can I contribute to making it
happen?
No labels. Just seeing clearly what needs to be done
and stepping up to do it."
Margaret Wheatley
