POSITIVE ATTITUDE
DR. RUPESH KUMAR, IRMS-2002 Batch
As someone has aptly said, Your attitude is determined not by your aptitude but by your attitude. Attitude plays an important role in the modeling and remodeling of ones life. There are a number of people who, by virtue of their attitude towards life, have gone to such great heights as one considered impossible by the normal mortals. Those who say that they cannot control or modify their future, say so because they are cowards who do not want to go down fighting with an attitude. There are two outcomes to any problems --- one is, you will be able to solve it, another is that you will be distressed at the mere sight of it. The first outcome is more li ely with those people who believe in themselves and have a !"#$T$%& ATT$T'(& towards things in life. The other outcome is seen in the case of people who do not want to ta e a step forward because it involves some ris . )e all now that if you stay away, hiding from all the troubles, the chances are you will stay at the same place all your life. Your life will come to a standstill. *o +is s --*o ,ains --- *o progress in life. The people with a positive attitude see things in an altogether different perspective. They are people with a neversay-die spirit. )hatever the circumstances may be, they stay calm and cool and go about solving the problems with confidence. They are people with a very high self esteem and they wor with an unwavering concentration, without worrying for the results. $n the present scenario, it is becoming more and more difficult for the children to cope with the increasing stress at school and at home. The reason being, lac of imparting proper values and belief in oneself. #o to ma e a better $ndia, we need to inculcate the strong ethos of our $ndian culture in our children.

reali-ation and miraculous power. All this was because of an [Link] belief in their creator and a positive attitude. This attitude part is difficult to instill into the minds of the young generation but if done with perseverance and dedication, this can be done. "nce this is done, then no more inputs will be needed. The individual will himself rectify his lifestyle and problems. $ have seen many a people in my life who are leading a miserable life /ust for the reluctance to change their attitude towards life. $n every situation, however pleasant it may be, they find faults. And mind you, these inds of personalities are in for trouble. 0oreover, such people also create a negative area in their surroundings, which affects other people also. #o, not only are the people with a negative attitude harming themselves, they are also proving to be a deterrent to the development of the society of the nation as a whole. "ne must learn to loo at the brighter side of things. &ven if nothing is going on well with you, do not get discouraged. ,ive it another try wholeheartedly. Thin that may be you did not try well earlier. $f you nurture your lifes plant with the water of attitude, $ am sure one day it will surely grow into a huge tree with a number of branches which will lend support to many a birds. #o, go on and on, till you succeed, with a positive attitude. +emember that the sun cannot be covered by the clouds for long, sooner or later it will come out of the clouds. #o inspite of getting disappointed, start afresh with a renewed vigour and -est to achieve what you desire in life. $ have [Link] the miracles, which can occur on following the principle of positive attitude. $ have seen through many ups and downs in my life but Abh"#ya$t"
because of the grace of ,od and my attitude $ could come out of the worst phases of my life. $n the same way, you all have to forget what has happened and start again to achieve your goal. And $ am sure you will succeed. $ will cite one instance of my life here. $ was in 12 th standard at that time. 0y teachers were sure that $ would bring laurels to myself and my school 3Army !ublic #chool, 4ammu 5antt6 in the forthcoming 7oard &.aminations. $ had prepared well for the [Link] and my [Link] went well. $ was sure to get good mar s 8 top the class. Then after two months wait, result was out. $ had stood second by a margin of two mar s. $ was very disappointed, because nobody came to congratulate me. &verybody was congratulating the topper. That day $ reali-ed, !eople come to celebrate the goals, you have scored but you have to live with the ones you missed. This was a bitter [Link]. $ was devastated for sometime. Then, $ regained my composure and set a new target for myself 9 Top the 1: th 7oards &.am. $ left my past behind and started wor ing my way towards my goal. $ had reaffirmed myself that $ could do the same with my positive attitude. And to tell you the truth. $ came out with flying colours in my [Link]. $ topped the [Link] with ;< more mar s than my 12th class mar s. This is the power of positive attitude. You can also change your life if you are willing to pursue positive attitude all through your life. 0y ob/ective of writing this article is to encourage our children, who are the future of the nation, to adopt positive attitude in their lives. There are so many shining [Link] of people who achieved their goals through the application of positive attitude. You all might be nowing Thomas &lva &dison, the one who discovered our electric bulb. &dison [Link] 1222 times with the filament of the bulb and he failed. Although he was July Septembe 200!
failing again and again, he did not stop his wor li e a normal human being would do. =e ept on [Link] with the belief that he would be successful and the result we all now --- he succeeded. You should learn never to accept defeat and strive for achieving your target. 0any of you would have heard of ,autam #inghania, leading industrialist of $ndia. This man was diagnosed with %itiligo, a severe autoimmune disorder in which the s in pigment melamine is not synthesi-ed or even the formed melamine is destroyed. ,autam #inghania was /ust :> years old when he started loosing the colour of s in, white patches started developing all over his face and body, giving him a very grotes?ue appearance. =e started hating himself for sometime but it was his wife who reminded him of the person he was, the goals he had to achieve and the life, apart from the physical appearance. Then, he was a changed man. =e too his disease in his strides and is now the leading industrialist of the nation. This was possible because of his belief in himself and his ability to loo at the positive sides of the events. =e did not blame ,od for his condition, which every other human does, but instead he loo ed at the vast empire and the [Link] of life which the Almighty had bestowed upon him. Then he started his life anew without worrying about his appearance and en/oying what he had. To conclude, !ositive Attitude can wor wonders for you, if you wish to indulge. *ot only this, you can change the lives of the people who come in contact with you by way of your positive vibrations and positive words. #o, learn now to stop using ifs, buts, nos and whys. @earn to say Ayes, Acertainly, Asurely, Adefinitely and so on. $ mean to say that use those words, which imply something strongly positive, and you will see that your world has changed. Ta e inspiration from people around you. Ta e the positive Abh"#ya$t"
things from your surroundings. @ast but not the least, always eep smiling even if the hell is brea ing loose on you. #tart today, set a goal for yourself and say you
will achieve it. )or hard to get it and you will get it. This is specially dedicated to the new generation children from whom we have hopes.
