ATTITUDE

                                  The longer I live, the more I realize the
                                   impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me,
                            is more important than fact.

                                   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. 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…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.
