ATTITUDE

'The Longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude in 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 successes,
than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than
appearance, giftedness, or skill.... The remarkable thing is we have a choice every
day regarding our attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the
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 one 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.'
