A:The 50% Theory of Life
Steve Porter says that he believes in the 50-percent theory. Your life is good half the time and bad the other half. The 50-percent theory as Porter says balance out to a normal life. I do agree with Steve Porter, that in your life you have good times and you have bad times, but the 50-percent theory I do not agree with. Always having your good and bad moments balance out to a normal life is in my opinion is a rather bleak outlook on life. A moment in your life is only good or bad because you make it that way. When people focus more on the positives in their life and less on the negatives balancing out with them I believe they will have a more satisfying life. I believe with a positive and optimistic outlook on life you will have better than normal times for over 50 percent of your life.

I have to disagree with the author and his 50 percent theory on life. Whether your life is good or bad is completely dependant on what you make it. Yes we all have good times and bad times, but it is what we make of those times that determines how our life is. Its like seeing a glass of water being half full rather than half empty. Someone who goes through life with hardships and is able to see the positives in it will have more than a 50/50 life. A good example of somebody who is able see the good in life is Will Smith's character in the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness." The same goes for somebody who only sees the bad in life, like the individuals some might refer to as "emos." It all depends on what we make of it.
