quotations about attitude
One ship sails east, and another sails west, By the self same winds that blow; 'Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales, That determines the way they go.

Our individual life is an innocent reflection of our attitude, perception and belief. This is why anyone with a bad attitude is guaranteed to be miserable and unable to see all of the good that is happening everywhere. Love is everywhere! Beauty is everywhere! Happiness is everywhere ... why? --Because you bring it with you.

We've all worked with a Negative Nancy. She walks in the front door and happiness runs out the back. Everyone dreads having to collaborate with a Negative Nancy because that work attitude is so terrible. And you'd rather skip lunch than have to sit next to Nancy in the breakroom, subjected to the endless comparisons between the office and a medieval prison.... Negative Nancy is a huge buzzkill. For the sake of your career, stop being like Nancy and start making the most of your workday. You'll be glad you did.

The best time to develop a lasting, positive attitude is during the good times. Consciously build on the five attitudinal pillars and use them as a catalyst to heighten your success. Don't find yourself reacting to bad times, struggling to combat low self-esteem or low self-worth. Consider this Chinese proverb: "Dig the well before you get thirsty."
