in or not believe in will influence the way you think about
certain things. If you believe in God, you will structure your
life around that belief. If you do not believe in God, you will
structure your life around that belief. If someone believes in
God they will likely think that going to church is a normal thing
to do, whereas, someone that does not believe in God would
think that going to church is a waste of time.

4. I'm glad you pointed out that people can have a specific
attitude depending on the situation. I agree that your attitude's
can and does change depending on the situation. I just wish
more people agreed with that! We have all come across people
with bad attitudes. Having a bad attitude can effect a person in

3. many aspects of their life, especially professionally. No one
wants to be around someone with a bad attitude. If an employer
is evaluating you for a promotion you want to put your best foot
forward. Even if something comes up that is very frustrating
and not your fault, it's important to always keep your cool and
conduct yourself with respect and dignity. If you don't treat
yourself well, then other people won't either. An attitude is
something internal that radiates to the world and it is a choice
you make every day that presents itself through words and
actions. Even if you don't get the promotion, you will have the
peace of mind to know that you did your best and you can walk
away with your head held high.
Question for All: If you were looking at an employee for a
promotion, what behaviors would you look for and what
behaviors would disqualify the person?
5. If I were looking for an employee to hire for a promotion, the
first thing that I would do is make sure that they have the
experience and know how to do the job. The qualities that I
would be looking for in an employee that I would like to
promote would be things like, are they committed, and are they
dependable. I would want someone that has shown that they are
willing to go above and beyond their normal work duties. I
would want to know that they have shown an attitude that they
love the job and are looking for the opportunity to excel within
the company. I would also want to know what their attendance
is like. I would want someone that is never late and comes into
work to cover shifts when needed. I would also want them to be
a great team player. I would want them to be approachable to
others, and know how to communicate effectively. The
behaviors that would disqualify them would be things like,
showing up to work late or calling off all the time and not being
a team player.
6. I'm glad you pointed out that with an attitude can change on a
day to day basis, whereas a belief either doesn't change at all or

4. extremely rarely. As I think back on my younger years, I realize
that I had both different attitudes and belief's. I become more
spiritual as I got older and things that I used to care a lot about,
seemed less important. I guess that is the normal course of
things, but it's weird to think about how much I believed in
what I used to believe in and the events that led up to me
changing those attitudes and beliefs. It also makes me think
about the kinds of things I will believe 10 years from now!
Question for All: What are some important moments in your life
that caused you to change something about yourself?
7. Hello Class. What I come up with concerning some of the
differences between attitudes and beliefs. I will start off like
this. An attitude can and will change like the weather. A belief
will not. A belief will stay with you until it is proven other wise
from what you have always believed. Here is an example of
what an attitude in my life. At work someone try to tell me how
to do my job different from the way I have done it for years so I
get an attitude because my belief is that I am doing it right and
they are telling me I am wrong. I may be wrong because they
could have found a better way but my beliefs are keeping me
from doing it different. Now I can say this much. It is just my
opinion but I believe that my beliefs causes my attitude towards
a lot of thing in my life if not all of the things in my life. They
are a lot of differences but one will always cause the other.
8. Has there ever been a time when you have changed a set of
beliefs completely? Was this a belief you were trying to change
or resist? Was it surprising to you? How did you feel
afterwards?
