Ability teaches us how we do, motivation determines why we do, and attitude decides how well we do.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.

An opportunity only knocks once. The next one may be better or worse, but never the same one. That is why it is so crucial to make the right decision at the right time. A right decision at the wrong time becomes a wrong decision.

Having attended a number of training programs such as customer service, selling skills, strategic planning etc., I have come to the conclusion that most of these are great programs with one major challenge: none of them will work unless they have the right foundation and the right foundation is Quality People. Who are quality people?. They are people with character, integrity, good values and positive attitude.

People with positive attitude have certain personality traits that are easy to recognise. They are caring, confident, patient and humble. They have high expectations of themselves and others. They expect positive outcomes. A person with a positive attitude is like a fruit of all seasons, are always welcome.

“Dreams are a dime a dozen… it’s their execution that counts.” —Theodore Roosevelt.

The winner has a solution for every problem; the loser has a problem for every solution.

“Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure”. – Norman Vincent Peale
