Attitudes, Thomas D. Willhite

Just because you are seventy is no excuse to give up and let others make your decisions for you. The fact that you are still alive is reason enough to believe that you are here for a purpose; and that purpose is to learn, to teach, and to GIVE.

~ Thomas D. Willhite

Attitudes, Timothy Bentley

Attitude, Hery Ford

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who think they can, and those who think they can't, and they're both right.

- Henry Ford

Although experiencing success and failure can influence one’s mindset, more often than not it is the mentality that determines the outcome. Great results are produced by “people with ambitious targets, supreme confidence, and the boldness to meet challenges head-on.” On the other hand, nothing can be achieved if one starts off afraid; thinking “it’s impossible, it’s too hard, or it won’t work.”

Attitude, Albert Einstein,

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Attitude, Bryan Adams

Thoughts are things; they have tremendous power. Thoughts of doubt and fear are pathways to failure. When you conquer negative attitudes of doubt and fear you conquer failure. Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit solidifies into circumstances.

~ Bryan Adams (1959- )

Attitude, Betty Smith

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.

Optimism, Bernard Montgomery

The first and foremost responsibility of a leader is optimism. If your people do not feel uplifted after their meeting with you, then you are not a leader yet.

- Bernard Montgomery (1887-1976)

They say that the optimistic entrepreneur, who remains positive and is capable of seeing the brighter side of any situation, has a better chance of success than the pessimist who runs a family business. One's attitude towards facts is far more important than the facts. This is because attitude determines success or failure. This especially holds true for leaders- as their attitude will directly influence the whole unit. The ability to remain positive and aggressive is an essential quality needed in a leader.

Attitude, Thomas Dewar

Minds are like parachutes: they only function when open.

Attitude, Harry S. Truman

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Attitude, Jesus from Gospel of Matthew

Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.

- Gospel of Matthew 7:12, New Testament, Bible

Attitude, Napoleon Hill

If you can’t do great things, do small things in a great way. Don’t wait for great opportunities. Seize common, everyday ones, and make them great.

- Napoleon Hill (1883-1970)
