Attitude

«There are thousands of degrees and variations, but it is always clearly the attitude of a person who finds his superiority in solving the complications of others.»
«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, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our 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% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.»
«Some of these guys wear beards to make them look intimidating, but they don't look so tough when they have to deliver the ball. Their abilities and their attitudes don't back up their beards.»
«People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.»
«There are more pompous, arrogant, self-centered mediocre people running corporate America Their judgments and misjudgments have made me rich.»
«Problem is there are too many sissies and prima donnas -- stop talking and get it done.»
«There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.»
«There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes.»

«Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.»
