This figure has two columns. The left column shows a man holding a glass half full of water and the heading reads ‘See the glass half full.’. Underneath the heading is a letter:

‘Dear Optimist, Pessimist and Realist, While you were debating whether the glass was half empty or half full, I just wanted to let you know, I drank it! Kind regards, The Opportunist.’

The right-hand column has the heading ‘How to be positive’ and lists the following points:

  • Make a conscious decision to be an optimist
  • Take personal responsibility for everything you do
  • Listen to and examine your internal vocabulary
  • Challenge every excuse you make to yourself
  • Embrace mistakes and see them as learning opportunities
