Ability teaches us how to do;
Motivation decides why we do;
Attitude determines how well we do.
11. Story of the balloons seller in a fair:
Moral of the Story :
It is what's inside that counts. And
what's inside of us that makes us go
up is our ATTITUDE.
YOUR ATTITUDE CONTRIBUTES TO SUCCESS:
Harvard University Study: When a
person gets a job or a promotion, 85% of
the time it is because of his ATTITUDE,
and only 15% of the time because of
intelligence and knowledge of specific
facts and figures. 11
12. WHAT IS ATTITUDE?
Your attitude is your mindset.
It is the way you look at things
mentally.
Attitude is the way you communicate
your mood to others. 12
Definition of Attitude :
A persistent tendency to feel and
behave in a particular way towards
some objects, persons or events.
13. HOW ATTITUDES ARE FORMED ?
13
Attitudes are not inherited.
Are we born with attitudes or do
we develop them as we mature?
They are acquired or learned by
people from the environment in
which they interact.
Most of our attitudes are shaped
during our formative years.
14. 14
The story of Hafiz, a farmer in
South Africa:
The morals of the story:
When our attitude is right, we
realize that opportunities are all
around us, always under our
feet.
All we need is to recognize
them.
15. 15
The grass always looks greener on
the other side.
People, who don’t know how to
recognize an opportunity, complain
of noise when it knocks on their
doors.
Opportunity only knocks once.
•That is why it is so crucial to
make the right decision at the
right time.
16. Biblical Story of David and Goliath:
Morals of the story:
Our attitude determines how we
look at a setback.
Same situation - different perceptions.
To a positive thinker, attitude can
be a stepping-stone to success.
To a negative thinker, it can be a
stumbling block.
16
17. Just like a great building
stands on a strong
foundation, so does success.
And the foundation of
success is ATTITUDE.
17
18. FACTORS THAT DETERMINE OUR ATTITUDES
What are the factors that form our attitudes?
Can we change our negative outlook on life?
Three factors (triple Es) that largely determine
our attitude formation:
1. Environment
2. Experience
3. Education 18

21. STEP 1 : CHANGE FOCUS, LOOK FOR THE
POSITIVE
21
8 STEPS TO ATTITUDE CHANGE
What is your focus? What are
we looking for? Gold or dirt?
Search for the gold.
You need to become a seeker
of good
22. 22
Start looking for what is right in a
person or situation instead of looking
for what is wrong.
If you are looking for what is wrong
with people or with things, you will find
many faults.
Even in paradise, fault finders will find
faults.
Some people always look for the
negative; negative people will always
criticize.
23. STEP 2: MAKING A HABIT OF DOING IT NOW
He basked beneath the sun
He slept beneath the moon
He lived a life of ‘going to do’
and died with nothing done - James Albery
We have all procrastinated at some time or
another in our lives, only to have regretted it
later.
A completed task is fulfilling and energizing;
an incomplete task drains energy.
Get into the habit of living in the present and
doing it now. 23
24. We are so focused on complaining
about things we do not have that
we lose sight of the things we have.
Count your blessings, not your
troubles.
Take time to smell the roses.
There is a lot to be thankful for. 24
STEP 3: DEVELOP AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
39. Enjoy your life
how it is and as it comes.
Some things are worse for
others and much better for us.
39
40. Step 4: Get into a Continuous
Education Program
If we want to build character
in our companies, offices,
homes and society, we must
achieve a minimum level of
moral and ethical literacy.
40
41. STEP 5: BUILD A POSITIVE SELF-
ESTEEM
Self - esteem is the way we
feel about ourselves.
When we feel good within, our
performance goes up and our
relationships improve both at
home and at work.
41
42. 42
What could be the reason?
There is a direct correlation
between our feelings and
behavior.
If you want to build a positive self –
esteem quickly, do something for
those who cannot repay you in cash
or kind.
Givers have high self-esteem, and
they serve society.
43. If you associate with achievers, you will
become one.
If you associate with thinkers, you will
become one.
If you associate with givers, you will
become one.
If you associate with negative people,
you will become one.
Don’t let negative people drag you down.
43
STEP 6: STAY AWAY FROM NEGATIVE INFLUENCES
44. Start by doing what is necessary,
then what is possible, and
suddenly you are doing the impossible.
—St. Francis of Assisi, Italy
Some things need to be done whether
we like them or not; this may not always
be fun.
But if we learn to like the task, the
impossible becomes possible. 44
STEP 7: LEARN TO LIKE THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE
45. STEP 8: START YOUR DAY WITH SOMETHING POSITIVE
Practice having positive thoughts
and behavior daily until they
become a habit.
If you are going to change your life,
you need to start immediately.
Winners don’t do different things;
they do things differently.
—Shiv Khera, Indian writer 45
