    1. Thanks. Yes, the irony is that we never think the tide will turn, but as you say it always does. Thinking positive helps turn the tide around.

  1. I think tides have more to do with how we view things or how the world appears to us, like the glass half full, half empty analogy.

    On the other hand, reality is reality, and you cannot tell a concerned man not to believe his lying eyes when the tide is turning his way.

    1. Thanks Tim. Yes quotes are always open to interpretation, which is what's so good about them.

      I agree with you about reality. Reality is reality whichever way we look at it. I'd personally be more concerned, if the tide were to turn against us. We'd be more concerned about that. Being positive certainly helps.
