This Listicle first appeared on A
Great Title on Tuesday 4 September 2012.
It was the post with the most views of all time on AGT. I’m pleased that lots of people are reading
this and I hope it is helping them to look on the bright side and consider
their attitude. Have a great day!
- My attitude is my choice. My
attitude is one of the few things I have complete control
over.
- The
attitude of the people around me is their choice. I can’t control it
or change it.
- I
do not have to be influenced by the attitude of those around me.
Their attitude certainly affects mine, but I am in control.
- If
each letter of the alphabet was given a numerical value according to order
(e.g. a=1, b=2…
z=26) then the only word in the English language that equals 100 is
ATTITUDE. Go and try it.
- When
an adult is having a bad day, it is not an excuse for having a bad
attitude. For example: I have been having a few bad days and as a
result there have been certain “actions” of a certain “deputy principal”
that have been bugging me. But, I don’t go and yell at him or swear
at him or call him names. I am not rude to him when we converse.
- If
I did choose to use my “bad day/s” and his “irritating actions” as an
excuse for poor behaviour, I would probably lose my job. At the very
least, I would be burning bridges between myself and a friend (as well as
a respected colleague). A bad attitude is very unprofessional.
- When
students have a bad attitude, the teacher can’t change it.
- When
students have a bad attitude, their teacher has a responsibility to HELP
them turn it around. Teachers can model the behaviour that goes with
a positive attitude.
- Attitude
is directly related to respect.
- Having a positive attitude is hard work but is certainly worth the effort.
