What is attitude? - #1What is attitude? - #1On the surface, attitude is the way

you communicate your mood to others. When you are optimistic and anticipate successful encounters, you transmit a positive attitude and people usually respond favorably. When you are pessimistic and expect the worst, your attitude is often negative and people tend to avoid you.

What is attitude? - #2What is attitude? - #2

Inside your head, where it all starts, attitude is a mind-set. It is the way you look at things mentally.

Negative thinking can become a destructive habit. Watch your thoughts more closely, and aim to turn your negative self-attitude around.

THE CAN DO ATTITUDE

You CAN DO everything, but not all at once. You CAN DO everything, if it’s important

enough for you to do. You CAN DO everything, but you may not be

the best at everything. You CAN DO everything, but there will be

limitations. You CAN DO everything, but you’ll need help.

14

BEST QUOTES ON POSITIVE ATTITUDE

A positive thought is the seed of a positive result. If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t

change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain. The most significant change in a person’s life is a

change of attitude. Right attitudes produce right actions.

If you really want to be happy, nobody can stop you.

15


Whether a glass if half-full or half-empty, depends on the attitude of the person looking at it.

There is a better way for everything. Find it. A positive attitude is not a destination. It is a

way of life. The difference between a successful person

and others is not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

16


The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

The man with confidence in himself gains the confidence of others.

You will only go as far as you think you can go. The biggest mistake of all is to avoid situations

in which you might make a mistake.

17


A positive attitude is like a magnet for positive results.

Our life is a reflection of our attitudes. Positive attitudes create a chain reaction of

positive thoughts. Attitude, not aptitude, determines your

altitude. No man fails if he does his best.

18


Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

A creative attitude is the fuel of progress and growth.

Either I will find a way, or I will make one. Be the change you want to see in this world. Forgive others and you will be forgiven.

19

Building a positive attitudeBuilding a positive attitude

William James of Harvard University said:

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind”.

EVALUATE YOURSELF, WHO ARE U? Where do you stand, What do you do and how do you behave? What controls you – Skills?, Knowledge?

Or attitude?

20

WHO DOES FOR OTHER

Is it TAWASANET? Or ME?

Ask yourself – do I have to do for TN? Or do I wait for TN to do for me?

21

Ask yourself

What have I done to TN to deserve my blames?

Have I contributed enough to TN to make the people in there to be blamed?

How do people in there (secretariat & board) do survive, have I supported them in anyway?

22

Ask yourself ……cont. What do I have to do now? Where & when will be my turning point? Who pays for administration and office

runing costs?

23

WHAT DO I DO NOW Engage your attitude to 100% associate it

with skills, knowledge and experience = it will overflow

Be the influence of change not the retardant of progress

Always ask what have I done to TN and not TN done for me

WHAT DO I DO NOW Always think positive and helpful, you will

get positive response Lear too trust others and you will ne

trusted too Always be optimistic not pessimistic Build trust even if it is small like a mustard

seed, you will see 90% of iceberg below water level

25

WHAT DO I DO NOW Be the starter of changes and don’t wait

for others to change you Know that gossiping is way to HELL and is

a weapon of destruction to TN progress Do what you want TN to do and TN will do

what you wanted it to do Always play your part and leave the rest to

others, they will do their way26
