For the first time,we find it confusing to hear two nearly opposite views on the same thing. Then the curiosity is arose,we decide to take it into serious consideration in the hope of figuring out what caused SO and why the views are SO different.
Then it reminds US of a ever new story:Two people walking through a desert with a half bottle of water,one sadly sighed“alas,there is no more than a half bottle of water”while the other beamed:Thank god,there is a half bottle of water.The teachers and our parents only take this story to teach US whom we should learn,but one thing that they may neglect is what brings out these opposite conclusions.First,these two people are walking through a desert,they suffer the same.As we all know that water is the most difficult to find and the rarest in a desert,thus a half bottle of water iS surely so little for one who wants to survive.Since water is the most precious in thousands miles of a desert.with a half bottle of water in hand is a real lucky.It could be worse for those who don't have such a half bottle of water.We can easily to find that it iS the attitude leading to the difference.
