How To Fill Your Empty Glass

A city boy, Raj, moved to the village and bought a donkey from an old farmer
for Rs.1000. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry Raj, My donkey died when i was bringing it here.
Raj replied: "Well then, just give me my money back." The farmer said:
"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

Raj said: "OK then, just unload the donkey."

The farmer asked: "What you are going to do with him?"

Raj: "I'm going to raffle him off."

Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

Raj: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Raj and asked, "What happened with that
dead donkey?"

Raj: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at Rs. 10 each and made a profit
of Rs 4990 with the donkey worth Rs. 1000 as the prize.

Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"

Raj: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his Rs.10

No situation is so bad that it cannot be turned around.
See the glass half full rather than seeing it half empty.
