“It’s your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude.”

Zig Ziglar

Attitude is your mental position with regard to facts. It is the way you view things. People are drawn to people who have a positive and winning attitude. Your winning attitude reflects on how you treat other people. The Golden rule is to treat others how you want to be treated.

Attitude

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than education, than money, than circumstances,

than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.

It will make or break a company, an organization,a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act a certain

way.

We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and it is our attitude.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you...we are in charge of

our Attitudes.”
