Telling Kids about Perspective

Girl told me about her Chinese teacher telling her that there are 2 sides to everything. I rode on that to tell her about this story:

A bra company sent salesman A to Papua New Guinea to sell bras. Salesman A realised that women in Papua New Guinea don't wear bras! He was despondent and reported back to his company saying that there was no business opportunity in Papua New Guinea. 

The same company engaged salesman B and sent him to Papua New Guinea as well. Salesman B wrote back to the company saying that there is a HUGE market for bras in Papua New Guinea because women in Papua New Guinea don't wear bras! He can introduce them to bras! Notice their reasons are the same! It is a matter of perspective. A glass can be half empty or half full.
