ATTITUDE STATEMENT
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of the attitude of 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 other people think or say or do. It is more important
than appearance, 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 that 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.
