" The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than success, than what other people think, or say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company.... a church....a home. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced the life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes."
