Understanding Engineers (1)

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. 

To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

My 2 cents notes : Engineers are taught to be very particular when designing things i.e optimize the design, a glass designed to hold 100ml should be filled up at least up to 90ml, otherwise  give them a smaller glass ....if not the glass will be considered 'over designed' or 'under utilized'.
