Quote
From The President...
by Bryan Hawkins, President, UKS
The pessimist will see a glass filled
to the half-way mark with water as being half-empty, the optimist as being
half-full and the optimistically creative person will see it as a vase
for a rosebud, the optimistic pragmatist as a means of quenching thirst
and the optimistic priest as water to bless for Baptism! Consider the
benefits of choosing the optimistic route as described in this poem:
One was an optimistic soul;
But the other took the gloomy view,
“I shall drown,” he said, “and so will you.”
So with a last despairing cry,
He closed his eyes and said, “Good-bye.”
But the other frog, with a merry grin
Said, “I can't get out, but I won't give in!
I'll swim around till my strength is spent.
For having tried, I'll die content.”
Bravely he swam until it would seem
His struggles began to churn the cream.
On the top of the butter at last he stopped
And out of the bowl he happily hopped.
What is the moral? It's easily found.
If you can't get out -- Keep swimming around!
