Earl Nightingale- It is all about Attitude

hello the sir Layton Gale and I'd like to tell you about the magic word the experts call it the most important word as far as the results we get from life are concerned in this or any other language and the magic word is attitude attitude is defined as the position or bearing as indicating action feeling or mood and that is our actions feelings or moods which determine the actions feelings or moods of others toward us and which control to a surprising extent our success or failure it is then our attitude toward life which will determine life's attitude toward us now what does this mean exactly everything operates of course on the law of cause and effect everything we say or do will cause some effect we're charged with producing causes the effects or the rewards of our actions will take care of themselves that's why I say success can be guaranteed and will come to us every time if we live in a certain way good attitude good results fair attitude fair results bad attitude bad results you see each of the shapes his or her own life and the shape of it is determined by our attitude the attitude we hold most of the time sounds simple doesn't it but it's not quite that easy for most of us learning this new habit takes time but once it's mastered our daily lives will become as changed as if we walked out of a dark tunnel into the bright clear light of day a person with a poor attitude toward learning for example in school or afterward isn't want to learn very much until he changes his attitude I know you can think of examples of this in your own life if we take the attitude that we cannot do something we generally will not do it and attitude of failure and whipped before we start so we know then that what we receive from life what we accomplished or fail to accomplish is due in large measure to our overall attitude William James of Harvard said the greatest discovery of his generation was that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind to develop a good attitude toward the world in general each of us must first develop a good but you'd toured himself we can't give to others something we don't have so it is the attitude we take toward ourselves which determines our attitude toward others which radiates to the world around us when you see someone with a poor attitude toward others you can be sure he has a poor attitude toward himself he doesn't like himself very much he's unhappy about something a happy person reflects his happiness in his attitude a person with a poor attitude most of the time is unhappy and frustrated most of the time and he's a human magnet for unpleasant experiences when they come as they must because of his attitude they reinforce his poor attitude thereby bringing more problems and so on he becomes a self-generating doom fulfilling cycle but for the man a woman with a good attitude the same principle holds true in Reverse expecting the best that's what they get why would a person persist in a poor attitude expecting the worst well we're so familiar with ourselves that we tend to take ourselves for granted we tend to minimize what we can accomplish the goals we can reach and for some equally strange reason we believe others can reach Heights which we cannot we tend to overlook the fact that there is enormous undeveloped potential within each of us a great reserve of talent and ability which we habitually Fairview's there are millions of human beings living narrow dark and frustrated lives living defensively simply because they take a defensive doubtful attitude toward themselves and as a result toward life in general attitude is the reflection of a person what's going on in the inside shows on the outside one's attitude is incalculably powerful it can bring about marvellous results for us but we must train it patiently day by day now for just a minute let's talk about people successful people who go sailing through life from one success to another and who when they occasionally fail at something shrug it off and head right out again no matter what a person does wherever you find a person doing an outstanding job and getting outstanding results you will find a person with a good attitude these people take the attitude toward themselves that they can't accomplish what they set out to a that achievement is the natural order of things that there's no good reason on earth why they can't be competent successful they have a healthy attitude toward themselves and as a natural result toward life and the things they want to accomplish because of this they achieve some remarkable things and come to be called successful outstanding brilliant lucky and so on they're quite frequently no more brilliant or talented than the majority of people by whom they're surrounded but they have the right attitude they find their accomplishments not too difficult simply because it seems so few others are really trying where they believe in themselves successful people come in all sizes shapes and colors and in widely varying the greens of intelligence background and education but they have one thing in common they expect more good out of life than bad they expect to succeed more often than they fail and they do when you want something worthwhile take the attitude that there are a lot more reasons why you can have it than why you can't set out to earn it go after it work at it ask for the nine times out of 10 you'll get it now think about this our environment the world we've created around us is really a mirror of our attitudes if we don't like our environment we can change it by changing our attitudes the world plays no favorites it's impersonal it doesn't care who succeeds and who fails nor does it care whether we change or not our attitude toward life doesn't affect the world and the people in it nearly so much as it affects us it would be impossible to even estimate the number of jobs which have been lost promotions or good grades missed sales not made marriage is ruined by poor attitudes but you can number in the millions the jobs which are held though hated the marriages which are tolerated but unhappy the parents and children and fail to understand one another all because of people who are waiting for the world and others to change toward them before they'll change instead of being big enough and wise enough to at least make a test which will prove where most of the trouble lies in poor attitudes all right so a successful attitude will help to bring us the success we seek but just how does a person get this kind of entity the easiest and most effective means are forming a good attitude habit is to begin conducting yourself as though you have a good positive expectant attitude toward life if you've never tried that you'll be amazed at what happens remember actions trigger feelings justice feelings trigger actions not long ago I read a line which went life is doe only to dull people that's true it could also read life is interesting only to interesting people or life is successful only to successful people you must first become mentally from an attitude standpoint the person you wish to be a famous restaurateur was asked by a newspaper reporter when did you become successful and he replied I was successful when I was sleeping on park benches I knew what I wanted to do and I knew that I'd do it if he his attitude had been one of success of expecting success long before the materially tangible rewards of success at behind the great German philosopher Goethe put it this way before you can do something you must first be something chances are you know people who seem to be what others call lucky all kinds of wonderful things happen to them and they give the impression of happily saving through life having a wonderful time and accomplishing more in a year than most people do in five if you will conscientiously go about the test I'm going to recommend and concentrate on it every day you'll find yourself beginning to join this small happy and extremely productive group of people you'll find yourself becoming lucky as they say and most of your problems will take care of themselves of this you can be sure the results will be nothing short of amazing now here's the test act toward the world everything and everyone with an attitude calculated to produce the results you want that is if the result you want is more success in what you're doing act as though you are already in possession of that success if you want others to treat you with admiration and respect treat others with admiration and respect first treat every person as the most important person on earth do this for three excellent reasons one as far as a person is concerned he or she is the most important person on earth - because this is the way human beings ought to treat each other three by treating everyone this way we form an important habit there's nothing in the world that men women and children want to need more than self esteem the feeling that they're important that they're needed and respected they'll give their love their affection their respect and their support to the person who fills this need have you ever noticed that the higher you go in any organization of value the nicer that people seem to become you see the bigger the person the easier it is to talk to him to get along with him and to work with him you know why it's because he has a good attitude and the people with the best attitudes just naturally rise to the top he doesn't have a good attitude because of his position he has the position as a result of his attitude act toward others and the world at large in exactly the same manner you want the world and others direct toward you for example treat the members of your family as the persons they really are the most important people in your life carry out into the world each morning the kind of attitude you'd have if you were the most successful person on earth and notice how quickly it develops into a habit almost immediately a change will be noticed irritations that used to frustrate Illinois disappear when some less informed person gives you a bad time stay on the track when someone cuts in front of you with his car or tacks in any other manner that shows his ignorance and lack of courtesy don't commit yourself to drop to his level don't let his unhappiness make you unhappy when you begin to develop better attitudes you should realize you already have placed yourself on the road to what you seek you are well on your way to joining the top 5% of the people you have prepared the ground and planted the seed you've made it yourself an embodiment of that which you seek now in summing up here are a few points to keep in mind first it is our attitude at the beginning of a task which more than anything else will be about its successful outcome second our attitudes toward others determine their attitudes toward us we're interdependent the success we achieve in life will depend largely on how well we relate to others third before you can achieve the kind of life you and you must think act talk and conduct yourself in all of your affairs as would the person you wish to be come forth the higher you go in any worthwhile organization the better the attitudes you'll find attitudes are not the result of success success is the result of good attitudes finally the deepest craving of human beings is for self-esteem to be needed to feel important to be appreciated when you treat every person you meet as the most important person in the world both of you will benefit to make these important principles a habit knit part of life here are some suggestions since your mind can all only one thought at a time make those thoughts constructive and positive look for the best in people and ideas be constantly alert for new ideas you can put to use in your life don't waste time talking about your problems or your poor health unless you're talking to your doctor it probably won't help you it cannot help others radiate the attitude of well-being and confidence the attitude of the person who knows who is going you'll find good things happening to you right away lastly treat everyone with whom you come in contact is the most important person on earth start this habit practice it consistently and you'll do it the rest of your life
