Found a nice write-up on attitude

----------------------------------------------------

ll of us have innumerable skills, deep knowledge about things,

treasure of other resources and best opportunities yet only few of

us succeed in life. Skills, knowledge, talents and wealth alone

won't make us successful. We need them surely, but we need more a

positive attitude to win our battles. It is our attitude that makes

us progress in our lives and become successful in our careers.

Success and performance depends on our attitude. A person with

positive attitude is a high performer. In our life there are things

over which we have no control or have very little control. But if we

control our attitudes these uncontrollable things will contribute

positively to our personality.

People react differently to the same event. It's strange! It's the

result of our attitudes. External events may be beyond our control,

but our reactions are fully under our control. If we have the right

attitude we will use every event to celebrate our lives.

Attitude is the way we look at the world. We can look at the world

in two ways: either positively or negatively. Our personality

depends on the way we choose to take. And depending on this we can

be the biggest asset or the biggest liability in our society and

organisation. It depends on our attitudes. We have to control our

attitudes and cultivate in us positive attitudes in spite of all

struggles.

We can change our attitudes. William James tells, "the greatest

discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their

lives by altering their attitudes of mind." Great buildings have

great foundations. The foundation of our happiness, our success and

our productivity is our attitude. If I am a person of negative

attitude I can choose to become a positive minded person. It's

possible and easy to control and change our attitudes.

To change our attitude we must learn to think positively whenever

something negative happens to us. Try to see something good in every

person and in every event. Speak positively about people and about

us. Fill our minds with more positive thoughts than negative ones.

Think `I can' and we will succeed. Learn to look more at the half-

full glass and forget about the half-empty glass and we will see

life in full everywhere.

When we have the right attitude we won't be going for the never-

ending search for diamonds outside us. When we have the right

attitude we realize that we are walking on diamonds. We see in every

event and person a great opportunity for us to learn and grow. We

will be optimistic and see only good in every person and everywhere;

we will begin to count our many blessings instead of counting our

few failures. With the right attitude every failure becomes an

opportunity for us to learn and walk towards success with greater

determination and passion.

Our environment, education and experience also can determine our

attitudes.

Environmental factors like our homes, school, friends, work

atmosphere, media, cultural, religious, social, and political

situation etc can mould our attitude. The positive experience we

have of a person, event and situation also gives a positive

attitude. Wisdom, knowledge, skills and qualification also can

determine our attitudes. We need to consciously choose to acquire

the right attitudes.

Fruits of positive attitudes

A person with positive attitude is caring, confident, patient,

humble, cheerful, fun loving, positive, hardworking, dedicated,

committed and has high expectations about himself and others. He

constantly improves his productivity, has an easy approach to

problems, improves quality of work, creates lasting and effective

relationships, is highly loyal to the organisation, passionately

contributes to its profit, reduces stress, forms in him a pleasing

personality, is courageous to take risks and initiatives, and takes

responsibility for his growth and performance.

The negative attitude also has some influence on a person which can

ruin his career and his life. He becomes bitter, resentful and a

pessimist. It has bad effects on his health and performance. He

complains constantly that roses have thorns and fails to see the

beautiful roses among the thorns.

Attitude affects our every aspect of life. Happiness is the product

of our attitudes because right attitudes will produce right actions.

Only right actions can make us happy. If we have the right attitude

we will see the invisible, feel the intangible and achieve the

impossible. Having positive attitudes is a sure way to succeed in

life. It is a sure way to long and cheerful life.

Let us opt for a great attitude to have a great life.

I agree with your thoughts completely. This is with our attitude that we win or lose anything in life. Good post. Cheers Archna

Hello Friend
Nowadays people are not much concentrating on developing the positive attitude and those who follow are limited and very much successful. The reason what people tell in not following the positive attitude is that, there is no time to wait and see what positive attitude can bring to thier life. Some where I read the word 'IMPOSSIBLE' when seen with a positive attitude would look like I'M POSSIBLE. So these attitude. It all depends on how we view the life.
With positive outlook
