Attitude is EverythingFrom Charles Swindoll

• The longer I live, the more I realize the impact
  of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more
  than facts. It is more important than the past,
  than education, than money, than circumstances,
  than failures, than successes, than what other
  people think, say or do. It is more important
  than appearance, inherited attributes or skill.
  It will make or break a company...a person...a
  home. The remarkable thing is that we have a
  choice every day regarding the attitude we will
  embrace for that day. We cannot change our
  past...we cannot change the inevitable. The only
  thing we can do is play the one unknown card we
  have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced
  that life is 10 what happens to me and 90 how I
  react to it.
• And so it is with you...we are in charge of our
  attitudes.

  standard how do you monitor and follow up? What
  do you do?
