That's the Larson '4 personality types' cartoon.
4 panels, each with a different person reacting to a half full/empty glass of water.
Person 1: This glass is half full!
Person 2: This glass is half empty!
Person 3: Gee... I just can't decide... I might be half full or it might be half empty?
Person 4: HEY! I ORDERED COFFEE! |

The logical side of me says that the glass is always full, even if it's half drink, half air...
But the cost management side of me simply says that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be!

it means are you optimistic or pessimistic.
if you see a glass as half full then you see it's got something in it, if half empty then you see there's something missing.
so people look at the same thing but can see something different, depends how you view it. |

I hate this idiom. It's tired, clichéd and suggests there are two patterns of thought - optimism and pessimism. It's not an accurate measure just a frequently rolled out attempt at ab initio psychology discounting those who are not neurotypical. |

"Or empty ?
What does this mean ?
Answers on a postcard please"
Sorry OP, I'm not sure whether you actually want a serious answer 
On the rare occasions when I start to feel my glass is nearly empty, I remind myself I'm lucky to *have* a glass.
