your Attitude contributes to Success, Must Read
Our Attitude determines how we look at a set back. To a positve thinker, it can be a stepping stone to sucess. To a negative thinker, it can be a stumbling block.
GREAT ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT MEASURED BY WAGES AND WORKING CONDITIONS, THEY ARE MEASURED BY FEELINGS, ATTITUDES AND RELATIONSHIPS.
When employees say, I CAN'T DO IT, there two possible meanings.
Are they saying they dont know how to or they dont want to?
If they dont know how to that then it is a training issue. If they are saying they dont want to, it may be an attitude issue...
So the factors that determine our attitude are
1)Environment
2)Experience
3)Education.
These are called triple Es of attitude.

The Retiring Carpenter Story
(Our attitudes and choices determine our future.)

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. He would get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we'd do it much differently. But we cannot go back. You are the carpenter. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, erect a wall. "Life is a do-it-yourself project," someone has said. Your attitude and the choices you make today build the "house" you live in tomorrow.

Two Wolves
(We choose our own attitudes and outlook on life.)

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
