“If you don’t like something, change
it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” – Maya Angelou
Some people want to prove their point
to be right while some people want to prove others’ point to be wrong. Some
people want to act while some people want to react. Which kind of people are in
the right side? The answer is obviously the people who want to act, and prove
their point to be right. There is a slight variation between the both in terms
of attitude and approach. People who want to prove their point to be right are
the ones with a right attitude while the people who want to prove others’ point
to be wrong are the ones with a wrong attitude.
Attitude is essential in every aspect
of life to grow as a healthy and successful individual. Unfortunately, some
people don’t realize it. For instance, when you attend an interview the
recruiters emphasize on your attitude rather than the so called experience.
When you work in an organization the employers expect you to equip with a right
attitude to execute tasks effectively. Herb
Kelleher rightly remarked, “Attitude is very important and has to be weighed
with experience and skills. Someone with a high IQ who is a backbiter is a
disaster for your organization. Someone who is outgoing and altruistic and can
work convivially will be a huge asset.” When you live with your spouse, s/he
expects you to live and love with a right attitude. When you associate with
others in social gatherings, people expect you to behave with a right attitude
and etiquette. Hence, attitude is the ultimate element to gain acceptance and
respect from others.
If you want to avoid conflicts in your
life, it is essential to listen to others attentively and actively and respond
with a positive attitude. If you want to enjoy your personal, professional and
social life happily to provide meaning to your life, right attitude is
essential. To conclude, if you try to prove others wrong, you have a negative
attitude; if you try to prove you are right, you have a positive attitude.
Hence, decide whether you want to prove yourself right or others as wrong. The
ball is in your court.
"There's always the motivation of
wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a
motivation above and beyond winning." - Pat Riley
