"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude
on my life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than
money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes,
than what other people think or say or do. It is more
important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will
make or break a company.... a church..... a home. The
remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding
the attitude we will embrace that day. We cannot change
our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act
in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The
only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and
that is attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what
happens to me and 90% how I react to it."
