Attitude is everything. read this and let it really
sink in. Then decide how you are going to start
your day tomorrow.

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He
is always in a good mood and always has something
positive to say: When someone would ask him how
he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any
better, I would be twins!" He was a natural
motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was
there telling the employee how to look on the
positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one
day I went up to Michael and asked him, "How do you do it?"
Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say
to myself, you have two choices today. You can
choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to
be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to
be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I
choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can
choose to accept their complaining or I can point
out the positive side of life. I choose the
positive side of life.
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about
choices. When you cut away all the junk, every
situation is a choice. You choose how you react
to situations. You choose how people affect your
mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad
mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you
live life."
I reflected on what Michael said. Soon
thereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my
own business. We lost touch, but I often thought
about him when I made a choice about life instead
of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Michael was
involved in a serious accident, falling some 60
feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours
of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael
was released from the hospital with rods placed in
his back.
I saw Michael about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied. "If I
were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what
had gone through his mind as the accident took
place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the
well-being of my soon to be born daughter, "
Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I
remembered that I had two choices: I could choose
to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?"
I asked.
Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great.
They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But
when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the
expressions on the faces of the doctors and
nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I
read 'he's a dead man." I knew I needed to take
action."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting
questions at me," said Michael. "She asked if I
was allergic to anything. "Yes," I replied. The
doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited
for my reply.
I took a deep breath and yelled, "Gravity."
Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing
to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors,
but also because of his amazing attitude. I
learned from him that every day we have the choice
to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has
enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
its not my fault,my mind was not clear
its all because of the heineken beer......

This is so true attitude is the difference between failure and succes. here's one i like.
"A young approched an old Indian man, Having noticed a large and unusual medaillon around his neck. As he got closer he could see that engraved in the medaillon were two wolves engaged in a fierce battle. Taken by curiosity, the boy the Indian why the wolves were fighting. The indian said " oh one is a good wolf who has clarity and purpose the other is a bad wolf who is always trying to confuse the good wolf and prevent him from realising his dream. They're both very powerful and fight day and night. With a puzzled look the boy asked " Does anyone ever win?" "oh yes!" the Indian replied "
Which one?" ask the boy "the one i feed the most " said the indian.

you know, I used to do that, but it really is kind of a waste of time. I mean, for the time you spend washing, you could just buy some cheap cologne or maybe even a pine scented air freshener and wear it around your neck. That way, you make a statement at the same time. OOH, and pine makes you smell "like" a man. I'm not sure if you are a man...

uhhh, no... Let's see if this makes sense to you. I am a female. For me to get the pine scented freshener would be silly. I might attract people like you. I get the bahama breeze or cherry! THat is, if I have enough money left over after jumping.
