There are a lot of quotes out there that resonate with me on a deeper level, and I have seen firsthand the truth in them. There's no day I don't have a quote to mention, especially when it comes to doing something, talking to someone, or just sitting there, and, in my thoughts, it would attest to the authenticity of a quote that subconsciously dropped into my heart.
Image is mineAmong these quotes is this particular one that I can never forget and has been like a rock I stand on and would always be cautious of, especially in my attitude toward people.
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. Zig Ziglar
Every day we meet people. We interact and talk about things. The way we respond to them and our actions determine many things. As we would always hear, we need people to climb up the ladder and the way we bring ourselves to them would determine our placement in their lives. No one ever wants someone with a bad attitude because they know they'd ruin things for them. So, everyone looks out for that person who they could lean on and trust to do their work in the right way.
I watched a short video yesterday. It was about Lady A who finished buying something at a shop, and when she turned to start going, unintentionally, she hit Lady B, who was coming, and that was how Lady B flared up and slapped her twice. Lady A kept apologising but she wasn't ready to let go. When all was done, she turned to the shop owner to get some things, but she immediately locked her shop because, to her, it was better to close her shop and avoid people like her.
Attitude is everything. It is 100% an assurance you'd be elevated, and even if one is lucky enough with their bad attitude, it doesn't last long before their downfall.
I have learnt from my childhood to have a good attitude because that will determine my altitude, and that is true. There are lots of experiences I have had in the past where my good attitude has led me to get some opportunities I never expected, and when they come, I feel happy and want to continue keeping my good attitude, and it has been a part and parcel of me till today.
This is one of my best quotes because it says a lot about one's personality. It's like the bedrock of every other thing in life. With a good attitude, one is sure of walking on the right path and being helped. People like someone who is trustworthy and can serve as a good leader because they know they will definitely give the best job.
As a lady, I have understood how having a good attitude is important mostly when we get married. When you have a good character, it leads to building a great attitude, and you'd enjoy a lot of things, and that's a plus for whoever decides to maintain a good attitude towards everyone.
Having a good attitude leads to peace because in all you do, there's is the assurance of living a peaceful life with nothing tampering with your sanity. You are loved by people and you will always have more at your beck and call. I'm saying this because it is what I have passed through and I so much love that.
So, whether you are intelligent or have all kinds of skills to get a job done, without a good attitude, you are nothing because, at the end of the day, you lose everything.
