Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference With every passing day, we realize that attitude is the most important aspect of our personality and probably the most defining factor in shaping our lives. The impact of attitude on life is tremendously powerful. As Winston Churchill says it, “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”

education, than money, or skill. We cannot change what has passed, what is yet unforeseen or the way other people around us react. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. We are convinced that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. And so it is with you. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.” Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We now know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”
