Attitude Quotes

Even though ‘attitude’ has come to attain an extra meaning in pop culture, its actual definition still goes on as a state of mind, which involves beliefs, values, and dispositions to act in particular way. Our attitude is what prompts us to see the world in whichever way we like. For instance, if we have a good mind and take everything in a positive way, only good things will happen to us. On the contrary, if we see the world in a negative light, we will perceive everything around us as negative. Yes, folks, nothing will work unless you make them work.
