Quote of the Day: Anne Teak on Perspective

Quote: “Some see the glass half full, others half empty — I just wonder who’s been drinking out of my glass.”
— Anne Teak


Anne Teak has always had a knack for twisting familiar sayings into something sharper. Here, she reminds us that optimism and pessimism often miss the point entirely. Sometimes the real question isn’t about perspective — it’s about ownership, and why your drink keeps mysteriously disappearing.

Her observation captures the humour of everyday life: while philosophers debate the meaning of fullness, practical souls notice fingerprints on their pint glass. It’s a gentle poke at overthinking and a reminder that sometimes the most profound truth is the simplest one — especially when it involves a missing beverage.

Ultimately, Anne Teak’s wisdom is rooted in bringing lofty reflections down to earth, where they bump shoulders with common sense and a touch of cheek. The Sage himself might add: always keep an eye on your glass, particularly when Anne is around.
