"The Longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude in life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, 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 an organization... a school... a home.... The remarkable thing is 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 that we have. And that is attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 % what happens to me, and 90 % how I react to it.
And so is with you..."  Charles Swindoll
