Is the Glass Half Full or....

....half empty.  What kind of person are you when it comes to tough times.  How many times have you been in a situation where you felt it was hopeless, or did you use the challenge that was in front of you as motivation to do something you didn't think you could accomplish.

One of my all time favorite  movie clips is from Apollo 13 where Mission Control learns that, after mechanical breakdown, the Apollo 13 space craft will not have enough oxygen to return to earth.  Immediately some people begin talking about how it will be the biggest disaster in NASA history, but Gene Krantz, played by Ed Harris, sees the glass as half full not empty.  He challenges the engineers and scientists to basically find a way to put a square peg in a round hole.





In the second clip, when the challenge is laid out of what they have to do, not one person says it can't be done.  They jump in looking at the materials they have to get the job done!
