"Attitude is
everything"- Diane Von Frustenberg
An
Attitude can be defined as positive or negative evaluation of people, objects, activities,
events or just about anything in the environment. Attitude is never right or
wrong, it's either positive or negative. Our Attitude translates into behavior
and guides our actions. There has been a lot of research into the subject by
behaviour psychologists and various theories have come into existence. The
profound effect that our attitude has on our actions, and even that of those
around us, has made it, very critical for our day to day functioning.
Studies
have shown, that we can choose our attitude, by making a conscious effort and
it is imperative to learn to master this.
The Never-ending Cycle
We
all have days when we feel upbeat, and those when we feel, just a little, under
the weather. When we start our day on a positive note, it's easier to feel
good, and spread smiles, wherever we go, but a simple event like an altercation
with a friend, or a family member can spoil it for us. This negativity is then
carried subconsciously, on to the rest of our day, and even to those
individuals, who are at the receiving end of our subsequent ire.
The Betari's Box
The
way our attitude is developed and the effects it has on us, is very clearly
explained by the Betari's Box.
The
Betari's box works on a principle that we all have the ability to choose an
attitude. It's a circle of events, that shows the relationship of our attitude
and behaviour, with that of the attitude and behaviour of the individuals who
come in contact with us.
This
box clearly states that our attitude effects our behavior, which effects the
attitude and behavior of others and by changing our attitude, we can change our
behaviour and successfully break the cycle.
The Winning Attitude
When
a friend is in a foul mood, his behaviour effects everyone in the group. This
is how we get stuck in the Betari's box
subconsciously, and this happens to the best of us, day in and day out. The
best way to get over this is by not letting negative instances affect our
attitude. This can be achieved by concentrating on positive things during a bad
time. We must also try to stop others behaviour from affecting us.
Make An Effort
An
individual's attitude is very important, as it effects his feelings, moods,
afflictions and ultimately behaviour and that's not all, as one's attitude has
the power to affect the attitude of others as well. However, one has the power
within themselves to get out of this vicious circle and even help others stuck
in it, by showing them the positive side.
So
make an effort to develop a positive attitude and bring a difference in the
world around you.
"
Attitude is a little thing that makes big
difference" - Winston Churchill
