Attitude is unique to you.

Aptitude Can be Trained but attitude is unique to you. That is why you are different

Choose the hardest because hardest will take you the highest. I believe , I do not know everything– Kiran Bedy. IPS



Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer. - Leo F. Buscaglia:



Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another. Walter Elliott



" Attitude is the mind's paintbrush, it can colour any situation ".



“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude”- Zig Ziglar

[ ATTITUDE ]

The following story illustrates one man's determination to choose his attitude in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.



Jerry was always in a good mood, and always had something positive to say.



He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.



The reason the waiters followed Jerry was his attitude.



He was a natural motivator.



If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.



Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I approached Jerry and remarked, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"



Jerry replied, "Each morning, I wake up and say to myself, 'Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood.



Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.



Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept his complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."



"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.



"Yes, it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices.



When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."



I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.



Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business; he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the cash box, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.



Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.



I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he said, I declined to see his wounds but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.



"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live."



"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.



Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action."



"What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. "Yes," I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!" Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."



Jerry lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

[POSITIVE MINDSET BRING RESULT]

When you feel the frustration level rising to the point
that it threatens to undermine your positive mindset
to your studies, it is time to take a short break.
Push back the chair, turn off the computer, and get out
of the house. Go to a movie, take a walk, have coffee with
friends. The point is to change your location, the view
around you, and the focus of your attention for a short
period of time.

Giving yourself this short break will do wonders for
your cognitive abilities. Chances are very good
that when you return to your computer and pull
up your study documents, things will make a great
deal more sense.

Remember that you can be whatever you want to be.
All you have to do is take the time to equip yourself
with the knowledge and skills you need to reach your
goals. This may not happen overnight, but if you keep
your chin up, work hard, and assimilate what you need,
your confidence in your ability will grow and you will get
where you want to go.
