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 failures, than successes, than what the other people think, say, or do.
It is more important than the appearance, the 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 stage we have. And that is our attitudes.
I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me, and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you.
We are in charge of our attitudes.

态度
年岁越长，我就越深刻地意识到态度对生活的影响。
对我来说，态度比事实更重要。
态度比过去的经历，比教育，比金钱，比环境，比失败，比成功，比他人的想法、言语、行为更重要。
态度比容貌，比天分，比技能更重要。
态度能够成立或者破坏一家公司、一座教堂、一个家庭。
值得注意的是，我们每天都可以选择，选择当天要采取的态度。
我们不能改变过去，我们不能改变人总是要以某种方式行事这一事实，我们不能改变不可避免的事。
我们唯一能做的就是在自己的舞台上演好自己的戏，那就是我们的态度。
我深信，我生活的10%是事情本身，90%是我对事情所采取的态度。你也如此。
我们掌控着自己的态度。
【人生启迪】
在我们漫长的人生旅途中，态度永远决定一切，所以无论自己处于多么严酷的境界之中，心头都不应为悲观的思想所萦绕！为了追寻自己的理想，我们要飞翔，去接受风雨的洗礼；为了实现人生的夙愿，我们要飞翔，去迎接春风和朝阳。虽然我们并不坚强的翅膀也许会受伤，但我们一定要飞向远方。积极乐观的态度将是我们成功的秘诀。
