Life is ten percent what happens to us and ninety percent how we react to it.

Life is ten percent what happens to us and ninety percent how we react to it.This is true.And now,ATTITUDE will come on the screen.So what is Attitude?
Attitude is everything. It's the attitude that determines our altitude. Attitude is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, 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 ... a home.. a relationship. 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 in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude ... Life is ten percent what happens to us and ninety percent how we react to it.Developing a positive attitude adds to our quality of life and spills over onto our meetings with others, by enhancing their lives as well.

Just how critical is attitude to achievement? Well, take a look at one of the greatest inventors of the last two hundred years - Thomas Edison. Every time we turn on a light switch, we experience the result of his persistence in the face of continuous failure. Edison tried 10,000 times to get his light bulb invention to work, but failed each time. However, he had this to say about his lack of success. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." We can learn to have this kind of outlook on life, but it needs to be purposefully installed into our daily living.
