I'm with Alex. "That 8 ounce glass has 4 ounces of liquid in it." I suppose "realist" is the best word, as opposed to either "optimist" or "pessimist." Though a lot of people seem to equate that with pessimism or fatalism, which is entirely untrue. I'm happy 99% of the time, what's in the glass has little to do with my state of mind.
