I would think they mean for me to be happy and not negative about life.

over here in the states the meaning is look at life like your cup is half full instead of half empty..Half full means ok I still have a half cup left> Optimistic outlook..Half empty means oh jee I only have a half cup left> negative outlook..

Big deal! just don't even look at the cup while drinking from it. close your eyes and drink from it. if there is some in the cup, you will get some. if nothing is in the cup, oh, well, tough luckgrin
