Attitude

The thing we don t see, but it is perceived the most. Everybody has it, but nobody talk about it too much. Why is it, that it is so important and there are just couple of people that learn about that and possess it.

For 15 years of my education I did not have one single class where would somebody learn and educate me what is attitude, why is it so important to have it. All I was learning was knowledge which of course is important, however as far you do not know how handle your attitude, all knowledge is worthless. Unfortunately I have possess some level of attitude before I came over here, however I did not know what is it and how can I operate from that.  I have had opportunity and still have develop my all day long.

6 months ago I started my internship program. Everyday wake up, learn, work, training of skills, work, come home evening exhausted, make preparation for tomorrow for 6 days long during the week. Can you imagine that it is not easy, when you work like that? And the worst part of that is when you do not do well at work, when your progress is not the best, when your result are not sufficient and you try day after day. You can conceive that your mind and mental health is screw up. What you can do? You can continue and give up, it means you will admit that you cannot be better, or you can pretend that you have to leave because there is something urgent back home. Those all are ways how you can get out from this trap. Or you can choose way of everyday failing, struggling, self improving, sacrificing and believing in yourself. There is always choice. I believe that there are people with more talent, but more than talent I believe in hard work, dedication and attitude. I believe that you can beat talent with these skills. I want you to assure that for 6 months I made progress, however it does not mean that I am satisfied. I did not reach my potention; there is a lot work in front of me. But what count is that in the hardest period of internship I believed in myself that I can improve with harder work and I relied on my attitude. You can think, how you can work harder than what I mentioned before, however where is will there is always way. I took one extra hour of study morning, one in evening, and some during Sunday. It helped me. Now there is another 6 months ahead me and I look forward to struggle, fail and hard work because I know that is time when I grow.

Attitude is connection of our past experience and expectation. My attitude is straight forward in what I am doing and why I am doing it. It showed me a lot about who I am. People who posses strong attitude, belong to the most successful in their field. What helped me to keep my attitude strong is I answered interpersonal questions like purpose of what are you doing anywhere you are. You should know answer why you do that. Do not do things just because somebody expects to do that. That is not sufficient. I am already aware of hidden power of attitude and only with straight attitude you can do whatever you want. There is no limitation, only that you set up in your mind. I realize that my skills are still just average however my attitude is better than that and it is what help me, empower me and keep me on track what I do. Think right, feel right, and act right.

I like reading and books like Napoleon Hill: Think and grow rich, Og Mandino: The greatest Salesman in the world, Paulo Coelho: The Alchemist helped me a lot. Just check this out and when you find some time grab it and read it. I promise it helps.
