No other person on earth has dominion over our attitude. The best part about attitude is that we are the only one who can control ours. New adjustments need to be made with each stage of life, along with changing belief systems about how we handle conflicts and stress. That means having a positive attitude will bring us up higher in life versus having a negative attitude, even if it’s just on rainy days and Mondays. Our attitude really does affect our altitude! Life is never perfect or without problems, but a positive attitude will help us soar above our problems and have a brighter outlook on life despite the obstacles. This goes on to prove in no uncertain terms, positive thinking is the hallmark of people like Dr Paolo. His father opines it was his positive attitude that brought him thus far making his parents and sister proud. Fast forward, passing out in flying colours, now he is a Doctor par excellence in a leading hospital. The way he carries himself - the light of positiveness flows all around. I have watched the boy grow and throughout what is striking about him is his attitude towards life. Thence, he made it to the rigorous cut-off list in the medical field gaining entry into another University on a scholarship with government funding. He went on to score a high ATAR (rank secured to get into a University in a chosen field) and got into one of the top Universities for his undergraduate studies. In addition, a consistent behaviour is an attribute of individuals with positive attitude.ĭr Paolo Masangcay: Known as ‘Miggy’ to his near and dear ones, Paolo was a diligent student throughout his schooling years. A cheerful disposition reflects sociable nature willingness to participate denotes leadership qualities and mixing with others reveal high interpersonal skills with strong team dynamics. It is generally observed that such people tend to display behavioural patterns such as: A smile (cheerful disposition) willingness to participate mixing with others consistency in behaviour. Their mindset is not occupied by negativity and as a result, they are able to focus their energy on exploring solutions, taking action and growing consistently. Successful people think differently and produce better outcomes because their response is guided by a positive and proactive outlook. Contrary to what people want to believe, outside influences don’t usually determine your happiness or success rather it is how we react to those influences - good or bad. In terms of leadership, it’s more likely you are what you think. Reality can be changed dramatically by a ‘single thought.’ In nutrition the adage is you are what you eat. Attitude, more so ‘mental attitude’ is the power we hold in our head. It’s either positive and good or negative and evil. Our brain is divided into two halves - positive and negative, good and evil. Attitude denotes a way of looking at things from our ‘point of view.’ By expanding the word VIEW, I will try to elucidate as to how we can go about with our ‘Attitude’ to triumph in life. It’s a universal truth that fits every stage of our lives. This has been one of those quotes which has evolved over the years. In practicality, when we talk about altitude, it is something related to flying objects like aeroplanes or helicopters, but in life altitude literally means the same thing. Out of our attitude also comes our disappointment and anger at how things have panned out. Out of our attitude comes our enjoyment of life and gratitude for all our blessings. This means it’s not what I think but how I think it. Simply put, it is the mental state or position we take regarding our life and affairs. Attitudes manifest through our behaviour. Attitudes are the established ways of responding to people and situations that we have learned, based on beliefs, values and assumptions we hold. Attitude is defined as a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behaviour.
