Nature vs Nurture ? - Glass half empty/full personalities

I am very much a glass half full type of person. DS1 is increasingly becoming more of a glass half empty type and I am looking for thoughts on how to possibly help him.

My FIL is very much a glass half empty type and DH can be this way. My FIL is ALWAYS like this and I thought that he was just a grumpy old man but now that I am seeing these traits in DS1 I am starting to feel that some people are maybe just born that way.

In your opinion do you think that this type of outlook is Nature or Nuture? What suggestions do you have to encourage DS1 to look at on sunny side of life. :)

    I think its kinda weird to already be concerned about your kids outlook on life. He's 5 - they are all moody about dumb stuff.

    I think a majority of it is nature while I think the rest can be nurtured.  You can keep pointing out the good side of a challenging situation.
