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 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 inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on one string
we have, and that is our
attitude...
