How Attitude Shapes Success: Insights on Building Strong Foundations in Life and Work

Dear friends,

For any success, Total Quality People (TQP) are essential. TQP are people with character, integrity, good values, and positive attitudes.

Someone approached Blaise Pascal, the famous French philosopher, and said, "If I had your brains, I would be a better person." Pascal replied, "Be a better person and you will get my brains."

Great organizations are not measured by wages or working conditions; they are measured by feelings, attitudes, and relationships.

When employees say, "I can't do it," there can be two possible meanings. Either they are saying they don't know how to, or they are saying they don't want to.

If they are saying that they don't know how to, it is a technical training issue.

If they are saying that they don't want to, it may be an attitude issue (they don't care) or a values issue.

The Calgary Tower stands at 190.8 meters. The total weight of the tower is 10,884 tons, of which 6,349 tons are below ground (approximately 60%). This shows that some of the greatest buildings have the strongest foundations. Just like a great building stands on a strong foundation, so does success.

The foundation of success is attitude.

We can't disagree with your attitude is everything. If you want a good team, you have to work on their attitude.

Nice one, Senthil.

A positive attitude helps to come out of any problem, no matter how tedious the problem may be. Contrary to this, a negative attitude will only showcase or highlight the negatives more than the positives, making the problem worse.

Dear Senthil,

Those views on attitude are very true. It's your attitude that gives you that X factor to do something new. Would like to share this quote:

"Don't walk as if you rule the world but walk as if you don't care who rules the world, that's called an attitude."

Senthil,

I agree with you. Attitude is the main deciding factor. But my doubt is, is there any way by which you can measure attitude in a quantitative manner? Or how can you judge attitude?
