Your Attitude Dictates Your Altitude

What differentiate successful yuppies from others are their professional careers. You see them as well-known physicians, high-paid lawyers, well-off business owners, well-respected company executives, bankers, managers, supervisors, educators, engineers, etc.  What makes them successful?

From a book by James Dornan, I read a passage that says there is a little difference between people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is ATTITUDE. The big difference is, whether it is POSITIVE or NEGATIVE.

Successful yuppies possess the attitude that allows them to always see things positively. Their positive attitude enables them to see opportunities in difficulties, solutions in problems, and challenges in obstacles. They often think big, beyond the limits posed by adversities. Their mind often dwells in what they can do rather what they cannot do.  Their life is governed by optimism, persistence, determination, and achievements rather than doubts and failures.

An old adage says, an optimist sees the doughnut while the pessimist sees the hole. It applies that how much good is derived out of life depends on the attitude one has. An optimist reaps successes and achievements while a pessimist focuses on faults, mistakes, and failures.

If life is a flight, only by having a positive attitude can you fly to greater heights.
