“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is
more than facts, it is more important than failures, than successes, than what other
people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have
a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot
change our past…we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on
the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% of what
happens to me and 90% how I react to it.”
