I killed the Attitude

Attitude  - a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways; "he had the attitude that work was fun"

This is  what google throws up once I search for the definition of attitude.Well the real question here is "Is google showing some attitude to the user?".Sounds funny ? well yeah.If you are someone serious  reading this post please make sure you bundle up your attitude for a couple of minutes cos I am gonna tell you all how i killed my attitude , slow and a painful death .But in the process i managed to grow something in me so great and powerful that i think I AM at least HUMAN now.


Attitude according to me is carrying a self perception or an image of things(people,situations).Its pre-conceived and is mostly backed by surreal images.But all the way why is this guy talking about an attitude.Amazed ,look back think of all those comments you or some of your friends have received regarding their attitude . One general comment that MBA students give out is "Hes got an attitude problem that is why he thinks he is smart ". Well if you figure in the receiving end of the comment then i think its time you take my post a bit seriously.

I always carried an attitude about me being the smartest and the brightest.I virtually wanted to know everything.In the process is did something unconsciously and amazingly unaware.I hurt my friends and those surrounding me (including my parents).When you carry an attitude or a mental image of what you want to be then the problem starts there.You tend to believe that you are the best and often will validate your comments and actions instead of just listening to others.All that matters in building the right attitude is to just listen to someone. Its said that the greatest speakers i the world are the best listeners.If you do not build the attitude to listen forget about the attitude part , you will not even manage to be human.Is life all about stinging others for the sake of an attitude.End of the day an attitude is never a real one right ,  its mostly surreal then why have so many crazy images in the Hard disk up there.Let go of these images and perceptions in life.Open up your mind stay healthy have a positive attitude.




This is juts a thought.I killed my attitude and now i have a whole new positive energy in my life.Things in life come and go but people are the most important asset in a persons life.It is ultimately for these relations that your remain half the human you are.You can earn enough money to buy assets but you will never earn enough to buy those honest people that you always dreamed of bein in your life.

    I fully agree with your comments , especially what you said about listening viz

    "" Its said that the greatest speakers i the world are the best listeners.If you do not build the attitude to listen forget about the attitude part , you will not even manage to be human "

    As Dale Carnegie said in his book ""How to win friends and influence people ""


    " to be a good conversationalist, you have to be a good listener "

    Once you have an open mind and listen to what others have to say, and show respect to his / her opinion, without imposing your own, the question of attitude will not arise. And the best part in the process, you would become a better human being ( as you have said in your post )

    Excellent post !!
    Keep up the good work !
