Is the "half full or half empty" glass illustration still effective, despite overuse?

You’ve heard it: its classic. Seeing the glass half full signifies an optimist. Seeing the glass half empty signifies a pessimist.
In my case, I am guaranteed to hear this at least a few times a week, especially in health class. I am finding the effectiveness of it to be wearing off…to level zero. Now, to me, its just an empty metaphor people use to sound smart.
What’s your experience? Or this phrase overused? Does it still make a crisp, powerful point or is all meaning down the drain because of endless repeating? Thoughts?
