During one of our team discussion my boss threw up an interesting thought of wearing our attitude on our sleeve. Though we keep hearing this phrase quite often, I am sure most of us wouldn’t have had imbibed the real meaning it holds. To understand this i thought we should understand about what attitude really means.
Attitude is a complex characteristic, if not understood properly might get us perplexed. What is an attitude? I posed myself a question, to be very honest i couldn’t verbalize it immediately. I had to Google for the right answer.
Jung a psychologist defines attitude as a "readiness of the psyche to act or react in a certain way" this is the simplest definition available. In a common mans perspective attitude is an emotional entity which characterizes a person how they approach a particular situation, their reaction , behavior , mindset and outlook on something. As it is the norm of the life attitude also has good and bad types. Needless to say having a good attitude makes you more successful both in personal and professional front.
Our minds are conditioned by our past experiences and also through social learning process. People with pleasant past are more likely to have good attitude, sometimes people learn finesse as they evolve as a better Person. But shifting from bad to good attitude involves lot of conscious hard work and it is definitely worth it.
There is a thin line between attitude and arrogance. We refer egoistic people as showing attitude, but when someone has the right attitude we appreciate them for wearing their attitude on their sleeve. Bad attitude is disastrous whereas good attitude will help us succeed in life. People with good attitude possess growth mindset, they are achievers , they take the best out of everything.
To acquire good attitude one has to change the way they think, Success begins in your mind. When your thoughts are good you will respond appropriately to the given scenario, your behavior gets better, you will start displaying the better version of yourself. Right attitude is the key to success. Let us evaluate and march towards a better version of us and yes we shall wear our attitude on our sleeve.
