ATTITUDE
Attitude determines altitude.
There is nothing either good or bad,
but thinking makes it so.
- William Shakespeare
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances,
than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill.
It will make or break a company...a church...a home.
The remarkable thing is we have
a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... The only thing we can
do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life
is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.
- Charles Swindoll

A
smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
