Attitude!!



If you type 'attitude' in google and press enter,you will get more than 120 million results.That itself shows how important a word it is.It has a lot of significance in defining your character.Now the point is,whats a right attitude and whats not right.In my view there are 2 aspects while answering this question.For me anything which hurts someone's sentiment is not a right attitude,even though you feel that it could be benificial for you in both long and short term.Sometime same behaviour with 2 different persons can be termed as right and wrong at the same time.Fearing just too much about future is not right attitude.Not thinking about future at all is also not a right attitude.One should take the present as it is,and plan for future also smartly..Not bothering at all about anyone other than your loved ones or just go on preaching others whats right and whats wrong is not a right attitude.
As per web results,an attitude can be defined as:
"a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways".
If your words gives solace to someone's heart,its a right attitude.Giving good suggestion to someone,about things correct in your view, is a right attitude.but if your suggestions are not right in that person's view and he/she disagrees,then going mad over it is not right attitude.Same way,accepting someone's valuable suggestions gracefully is right attitude but just go on accepting whatever is said to you is not a right attitude.You need to have your own thinking machine also in working state.Woh bolte hain na "Hamare yahan muft ki advise dene ko sabhi ready rehte hain"..After all its free of cost:)Same way,being confident about certain things is right attitude.But the attitude that only you are correct,everyone els is wrong,is not right.I remember the dialogue from one hindi movie,"There is a very thin line between confidence and arrogance..'I can do it' is confidence..But 'only I can do it' is arrogance".
Most importantly,what you communicate through words are not as important as how you communicate.You can be correct in saying something.But if the person in front of you thinks that you were arrogant,he/she will try to negate it with logics which might be wrong.At the same time,even if your points are wrong,but you are communicating it to the person in front of you in right way,he/she will agree to you(at least temporarily).Its all about how smartly you do it.
