Attitude by Charles
Swindoll
“The longer I live,
the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me
is more importnat than facts. It is more important than the past,
than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, 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 everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for
that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the
inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we
have , and that is our attitude.... I am convinced that life is 10% what
happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with
you...we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

questions when I don’t understand something, being careful not to
embarrass or ‘put down’ the other person.

place so that you can see their point of view?
9. During a
conversation, I try to put worries, fears, and problems out of my mind
so that I can listen well.
10. I react to the main points and ideas
of a conversation, and not to the person’s looks or
personality.
11. When I am trying to understand a
point of view, I do not argue, therefore mentally blocking out my
ability to reason.
12. I listen for the main points of a
conversation and am not distracted by illustrative materials such as;
examples, stories, and statistics, ect.
13. I wait until all the facts are in
before making hasty judgments.
14. When a person has an
emotional need to talk, I do not sidetrack the conversation with a maze
of detail.
