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, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do.

    It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, and a home.

    The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day 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 to play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

    I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.

    隨著歲月的增長(zhǎng)，我越來(lái)越意識(shí)到態(tài)度對(duì)生活的強(qiáng)大影響力。

    對(duì)我而言，態(tài)度比行動(dòng)重要，比經(jīng)歷、教育、金錢(qián)、環(huán)境、失敗、成功，比人們能想到或做到的任何事或物，都要重要。

    態(tài)度比外表、天賦、技巧更加重要，它可以建立起公司、教堂和家庭，也可以使之毀滅。

    可貴的是，每天我們都有機(jī)會(huì)選擇以何種態(tài)度度過(guò)這一天。

    我們不能改變我們的過(guò)去，不能改變?nèi)藗儠?huì)以某種特定的方式去做事這一事實(shí)。我們唯一能做的就是把握我們的態(tài)度。

    我堅(jiān)信，生命中所發(fā)生的種種只占據(jù)我生命的10％，而另外的90％則是由我如何對(duì)其做出反應(yīng)所決定的。所以，真正起決定作用的是你自己。我們應(yīng)對(duì)自己的態(tài)度負(fù)責(zé)。
