Introduction:

Winston Churchill once said “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference”. Attitude is a predisposition or a tendency to respond positively or negatively towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation. Attitude influences an individual’s choice of action, and responses to challenges, incentives, and rewards.

How can attitude make a big difference?

  • One may have high IQ and a sharp logical mind but without the right attitude, both are rendered useless.  Example- A bureaucrat posted in riot-sensitive area may be very good in management and thinking logically. But she can take precautionary measures and keep things in control only when she has a positive attitude towards all the religions.
  • Positive attitude towards difficult situations makes one resilient.
    Example- 12 boys along with their coach could stay in Thai cave for days without food just because they had positive attitude towards life.
  • A person with positive attitude sees even failure as possibility of having something better.
  • Having a positive attitude makes one confident about herself and this in long term not only helps an individual but to all those who are associated with her.
    Example- Mahatma Gandhi held a strong negative attitude towards violence, this helped us gain independence without any violence thereby saving lives and making strong foundation for Indian constitution.

Conclusion:

Life will always happen to one as it happens to everybody but one’s attitude will determine how far one gets in life. Thus, it is rightly said that attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
