Question and Attitude
The attitude is the buzz word today and I’ve taken this opportunity to make a sincere effort to create some impression on your minds about attitude.

Let me start this in lighter vein. A board displayed on speaker’s subject went like this – “Want to know about hell, please do come and listen to Mr. T K Mohan presenting it to you today”. Hope the same meaning is not conveyed to what I’m presenting to you and I sincerely trust and believe you will enjoy my presentation on Attitude.

What attitude means?

The simple meaning of attitude is “Settled behaviour”. Here comes another question. If it is settled behaviour why it is so important and treated as the foremost characteristic in modern Personality Development. Attitude is a mixture of belief, feelings, values, decision making, execution and planning in complex manner and action being done in a patterned way.

Attitude and character :-

The Albert Einstein the greatest scientist has given the opinion that “Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character”. Another Scientist Thomas Alwa Edison had the attitude to admit he has failed more times to invent bulb but had the courage to say “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work”. That was his attitude towards failure which made him very strong and was the reason behind his success.

The man who laughs last laughs longer is a very famous proverb in English. Everyone who wants to win has to remember this. The success is not determined on how many failures you had, it is determined on whether you have successfully converted the failures into success. This is being very correctly quoted by Darch E Gibbons – “Success is just a matter of attitude”

It is all in your hands - The Birbal Story :-

Let me tell you a story. This is a real incident happened between Akbar and Birbal.

The ministers of Akbar were envious on Birbal. They thought Birbal was not as intelligent as the King thinks. They wanted Birbal to be eliminated

    For some people it takes forever to figure out that failure is not always a bad thing, while at the time it may seem like the end of the world. “We are all potentially capable of any human act.” (Roth 39). Even the most successful of people have failed at something at least once in their lives. Maybe consider though, that failure was what brought them back up to the best, hardest working person that they could be and it did not take long for them to retrieve what they had lost and made it ten times better!…

    The question of failure is, in fact, a success in itself. I frame my life knowing that every obstruction and challenge faced is just a lesson waiting to be learned. The circumstances that genuinely made me believe this philosophy happened when I began working at Chick-Fil-A. Starting my work at the offset of 16 I promised myself that I was going to prove to the management that I was going to progress to become one of the best. Throughout the years of working there I upheld my promise and worked my way up to become a Team Leader. The youngest Team leader ever to work at that Chick-Fil-A.…

    An attitude can be defined as a “predisposition to act in a certain way towards some aspect of one’s environment, including other people” Mednick et al, (1975). Many theories have been put forward to predict attitude change, Argyle (1994). However, attitudes are extremely difficult to define and can’t be directly seen or measured, so behaviour is inferred from what people say or do. An attitude is the subjective evaluation of objects, people, events, ideas, activities and feelings. This evaluation is normally of a positive or negative nature and is based normally on experiences which you have conflicting feelings towards. Attitudes have a past, present and future, to which behaviour develops in a sequence. Many believe there are three components…

    In life, failures occasionally happen. It befalls on everybody. However, failures don’t label us as a person but can build you as one of those experiences. The person who succeeds without first failing hasn't truly learned anything. In failures, there can be a learning experience and an opportunity to develop. Throughout my seventeen years, I've encountered my own share of blunders, each teaching me a new lesson.…

    The reason I chose to read “Attitude is everything” is that I believe that attitude plays an important role in one’s life : either it makes it better, or it can ruin it. I am interested in finding new ways of viewing life, solving problems and see different perspectives, and I realized that attitude has a lot to say about this. The dictionary defines attitude as “manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, especially of the mind; position or posture of the body appropriate to or expressive of action, emotion, etc.: a threatening attitude; a relaxed attitude.…

    Our attitude can align with our behaviors, however many times our attitude may be one thing and our behavior another. A person may say that they believe one thing, yet when it comes down to it their behavior may reflect that they either have a different belief or that acting out their attitude is merely not acceptable behavior (Gilovich et al., 2013). Attitudes can be a successful predictor of behavior (Gilovich et al., 2013). For example I have a good attitude about exercise, therefore it is something I incorporate into my life and make a priority. So my attitude does influence my behavior in a positive way. However I also have good attitudes about volunteering more, spending more time reading my bible and reaching out to people. More times than not my behavior falls short of my attitude. That being said, it appears that attitudes more often than not represent good intentions. Often times a person believes something and furthermore, they believe that they will follow through. Due to either time restrictions or just a lack of ability to follow through, many attitudes do not actually come to fruition through behavior. Perhaps thinking about an attitude can change it because you put forth some effort to analyze and understand why you may have that attitude. Awareness can be the catalyst for…
