    You’re not looking at the glass as half full but rather looking at it as completely full ! Good Show! :)

    Actually, someone told me, the glass is ALWAYS Full! When it is half water, the other half is air and air is:
    Dry air is primarily made up of nitrogen (78.09%) and oxygen (20.95%). The remaining 1% is made up of argon (0.93%), carbon dioxide (0.039% as of 2010) and other trace gases (0.003%). Water vapor (water in its gaseous state) is also present in the atmosphere in varying amounts, by up to 2%.
    So, it's ALWAYS Full. That's encouraging.

    Cons are exaggerated expectations. Work was stressful, the prospect of retirement relief. I would say that the first ten years of freedom allows you to fulfil many dreams. From seventy you spend more time planning than doing. From eighty onwards coming to terms with impending mortality renders planning obsolete, time to relax, ignore dieting advice and embark on a crusade to become an alcoholic knowing you won't make it.
