What is great attitude??
Great attitude is what differentiates the catalysts of positive change from the detractors who draw everyone around them down or the slugs that just go with the flow as well as from the oscillators that get raised and thrashed between highs and lows of emotional surges, galloping like the stallion one day and sulking like the cur the next!!!
Most people like to think of themselves as having a good attitude! While there is not a litmus test to verify good or bad attitude nor a metric to quantify the amount of attitude (good or bad)…. You can certainly recognize the tragic minority that bear a great attitude from the rest of the crowds!
There is probably not a man who has not done something good at some level at least for a short period in his life… And of such a man I would only say, let’s wait and watch…
Embalming someone as bearing a “Great Attitude” can be justified ONLY when that good work is a part of his DNA… where he does it each time, every time… over the long haul… and bears the same zeal, the same positivity, the same enthusiasm, the same energy, the same commitment and the same motivation come what may!
To such a man, the external world is neither a propellant nor a detractor… There is none so big that may influence his inner being to perform better or to pull back… he is not the one to lean… he’s the one to support!
He is a positive influence on the team and everyone looks up to him when things are low… and that because he is never low…. And such a man is the only one that is capable of truly bringing in change… for change can happen ONLY over time…
He sustains, sets the tone and is the example for all to model after! And HE IS that catalyst of positive change….
Are you that catalyst of positive change??? If you are, it is then that you have earned the right to be entitled as bearing a “Great Attitude”… until then… we are here to wait and watch!!!
