The Importance of a Good Attitude by Harry Rustenburg
The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company, a church or a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact the people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our ATTITUDE.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Harry Rustenburg 2018.
