The longer I live, the more I realizethe impact of attitude on life.Attitude to me is more importantthan facts. We cannot change ourpast. We cannot change the factthat people will act in a certainway. We cannot change theinevitable. The only thing we cando is play on the string we have,and that is our attitude. I amconvinced that life is 10 percentwhat happens to me and 90percent how I react to it. And so itis with you. We are in charge ofour attitudes.-Charles R. SwindollLife is too short to spend yourprecious time trying to convince aperson who wants to live in gloomand doom otherwise. Give liftingthat person your best shot, butdon't hang around long enough forhis or her bad attitude to pull youdown. Instead, surround yourselfwith optimistic people.-Zig Ziglar
