"Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars." - Frederick Langbridge
"When you believe you can-you can!" - Maxwell Maltz
"To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Everyone has his burden. What counts is how you carry it." – Merle Miller
1.What these quotes talks about??
2.Whether they talk about being optimistic,power of belief,being motivated, accepting Change??
3.What is the single word that represents all the above combined together ???
4.What is the most important thing in life that determines our apex of success????
The answer to all these queries is the single and most important parameter called as Attitude. Attitude is a hypothetical construct that represents an individual's like or dislike for an item (wikipedia).
We can compare the mass of iceberg to the cause of success. Phenomena related to success including hardwork,optimistic, flexibility to change is like visible tip of the iceberg (10% of the whole iceberg mass). The huge 90% part of the iceberg which remains non- visible is the attitude parameter. Only attitude supports the 10% of the top iceberg mass.
Attitude is all about how you look at a specific activity, how you approach it. If you are enthusiastic about the particular activity, then you will go optimistic, motivated, embrace the change, perseverant, hard working. Success of a person depends only on his attitude. When the person has the right attitude, then he climbs the success ladder. Research has shown that by constant persuasion, people can change their negative attitude to positive attitude.
Lets finish the argument about attitude parameter with the quotes of great people.
"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character" - Albert Einstein.
"It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome." - William James.
Finally to end with, Attitude determines your success altitude.

Very Good collection of quotes ertaining to Attitude and success. Finally "Attitudedetermines success altitude" were the punch lines. From now on ordinary Bala becomes "Punch Bala". Keep up the good work. Expecting more to "Enlighten Myself"
Hmm - my first comment on your "blog" - since you started with Gita, I add this one also from there: it is an interesting piece on attitude from the Gita:
There is a steep ravine, one hangs upside down, clasping the roots of the trees that are on the sides for support; there are dangerous reptiles at the bottom of the ravine, a herd of mad elephants threaten to uproot the trees whose roots he's holding on to; a storm is imminent from the sky above - the clouds threaten him like a huge witch and the muddy walls of the ravine will flow away in the rain water; in between he sees that there are zillions of termites eating the roots of the trees.... and then from the tree top, a flower sheds a drop of nectar that by chance reaches ones tongue - at that moment, one forgets all fear and enjoys the sweetness of the nectar with all his might - so goes life.....
Its really a great piece on attitude....Can you please mention your name as well??.
