Attitude is like a glass through which we see everything in this world. Any situation or state of being or possibility actually depends on how we think about it, how we perceive it, in other words, what our attitude is.
Let’s read a compelling story on attitude.
Story: End of the day, it’s your ATTITUDE that matters!
Many years ago two salesmen were sent by a British shoe manufacturer to Africa to investigate and report back on market potential and feasibility of opening a showroom. They both worked hard the first day on their own exploring the area. At the end of the day having returned to hotel room, the first salesman reported back, “There is no potential here – nobody wears shoes. There is no use of opening showroom here. It will be fallen flat.”
At the same time, the second salesman reported back from his room, “There is massive potential here – nobody wears shoes. What we got to do is to sell the first pair of shoes and that’s it. We should open showroom ASAP.”
Message of the story:
This simple short story provides one of the best examples of how a single situation may be viewed in two quite different ways – negatively or positively. The scenario is same but because of two different attitudes, it can make all the differences.
There are always different perspectives and different angles to every situation. We should grab the positive attitude because only positive attitude can take us to the light of success and happiness; negative attitude brings about darkness, and acts as obstacles in our journey toward success.
Quote on attitude:
“A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.” ~ Wade Boggs
