"Our attitudes are our most important assets"
I fully agree with this statement. By looking back at past events, I know that I can't control what's going on but I can always change my attitude about it. Even in the toughest situations if you go into it with a positive attitude the whole situation will seem lighter and easier. The same thing goes for something positive. It could be the greatest thing in the world but if you only look at the negatives than you're denying yourself from it's full potential. I believe if you try to keep the best attitude possible in every situation than every situation from there on out will just seem to come easier. Another example could be in a group setting. Some people really enjoy working in groups while others do not and although they could have two completely different views on it, if everyone goes into the group with a positive attitude than not only will it make it more enjoyable but it will actually get more accomplished. One time I have remembered someone's attitude influencing me was the first time I went to church. Everyone has problems (some bigger than others) and I know that everyone deals with them differently but this case was different. Although they were still problems, the pastor kept calling them "trials". Trials were something that you went to, not to punish you but to teach you a lesson. Even though this is a religious belief that not everyone arguers with, I think a large part of it has to do with his attitude. Since he is going into it thinking that he'll get something out of it and will later benefit than it's a lot more easier than just moping through the problem.
