If you are a negative or pessimistic fan. Read and Heed Mike Ditka's comment on life.

“If you have a good attitude about life, if you’re positive, you can achieve anything. If you’re negative, you’ll achieve nothing. And besides that, you’ll be a pain in the ass to be around.”

I prefer to be an optimist. Pessimists think things can't get any worse. An optimist knows that they will.

Pretty solid advice that's very generic and vanilla. Often times Realists get mixed up with pessimists though. 

The reality is that the water is half way up the glass.  Optimists say it is half full.  Pessimists say it half empty. They are both realistic but they have a different perspective.  People who tend on focus on the negative are no more realists than those who are focused on the positive.

Strange I thought it was normal to be negative?

There is evidence to suggest being negative has some genetic links but it is a choice.  Problem is that most people prefer the negative and politics, marketing and many things in our lives focus on the negative.

I always thought that it depended on if you were adding water to the glass, or taking it out.

 

Adding = half full

Rmoving = half empty

Nope.  Still the same.  If you are removing water it is just as easy to say it is still half full as it is to say now it is half empty.

That is very true. But is I am thirsty and drinking the water, and want more I am more likely to say, pass me the water jug, my glass is half empty than to say it is still half full.

 

It just depends on the situation.

 

Jus tlike I hate when people ask my favorite color because it depends on what you are talking about. I like a dark blue shirt, but a black car, and I would not paint my bedroom either of those colors.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
