Eagles come in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize them chiefly by their attitudes. – Charles Prestwich Scott
I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life’s endeavors.

You can’t build a great company without great people. But how do you know them when you see them? Over the past few years, a number of companies in a wide range of industries – from airlines to steel, computers to hotels – have asked themselves what separates their winners from their losers, good hires from bad, and they all arrived at the same answer: what people know is less important than who they are. Hiring, they believe, is not about finding people with the right experience; it’s about finding people with the right mind-set. These companies hire for attitude and train for skill. – Peter Carbonara
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair. – Paul H. Dunn

The long span of the bridge of your life is supported by countless cables called habits, attitudes, and desires. What you do in life depends upon what you are and what you want. What you get from life depends upon how much you want it-how much you are willing to work and plan and cooperate and use your resources. The long span of the bridge of your life is supported by countless cables that you are spinning now, and that is why today is such an important day. Make the cables strong! – L.G. Elliott
Most men in a concentration camp believed that the real opportunities of life had passed. Yet, in reality, there was an opportunity and a challenge. One could make a victory of those experiences, turning life into an inner triumph, or one could ignore the challenge and simply vegetate, as did a majority of the prisoners. – Viktor Frankl
The last of the human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. – Viktor Frankl

It is a sheer waste of time and soul-power to imagine what I would do if things were different. They are not different. – Frank Crane
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 failures, 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 . . . a home. – Charles Swindoll
The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… We cannot change the fact that 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. – Charles Swindoll
THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN:
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think that you dare not, you don’t,
If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t,
It’s almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,
For out in the world you’ll find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will,
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can. – Arnold Palmer
There is little difference in people but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. – W. Clement Stone

When you believe you can-you can! – Maxwell Maltz

Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm.

You can not make excuses and money at the same time. – Dean Naylor
