 Our attitude determines how we look at a setback.
 To a positive thinker, it can be a stepping stone to
success.
 To a negative thinker, it can be a stumbling block.
 Great organizations are not measured by wages and
working conditions, instead they are measured by
feelings, attitudes and relationships.
 When employees say, "I can't do it," there are two
possible meanings. Are they saying
 they don't know how to or they don't want to?
 If they don't know how to, that is a training issue. If
they are saying they don't want to,it may be an
attitude issue (they don't care) or a values issue (they
believe they shouldnot do it).
www.shivkhera.com
 We are not an arm and a leg, but a complete human
being. The whole person goes to work and the whole
person comes home.
 We take family problems to work and work problems
to the family. What happens when we take family
problems to work? Our stress level goes up and
productivity comes down.
 Similarly, work and social problems have an impact
on every aspect of our lives.
 Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into
sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family
life or your work or your government or your world
and it holds true and clear and firm.
www.shivkhera.com
 Are we born with attitudes or do we develop them as we
mature? What are the factors that form our attitudes?
 If you have a negative outlook on life because of your
environment, can you change your attitude?
 Most of our attitude is shaped during our formative years.
 There are primarily three factors that determine our
attitude. They are:
 1. environment
 2. experience
 3. education
 These are called the triple Es of attitude. Let's evaluate
each of the factors individually
www.shivkhera.com
Environment consists of the following:
 ¨ Home: positive or negative influences
 ¨ School: peer pressure
 ¨ Work: supportive or over critical supervisor
 ¨ Media: television, newspapers, magazines,
radio, movies
 ¨ Cultural background
 ¨ Religious background
 ¨ Traditions and beliefs
 ¨ Social environment
 ¨ Political environment
www.shivkhera.com
 All of these environments create a culture. Every place be it a home,
organization or a country has a culture.
 Have you noticed that sometimes you go to a store and you find the
salesperson polite, the supervisor, manager and owner polite as well? Yet you
go to another shop and you find everyone rude and discourteous.
 You go to a home and you find the kids and parents well-behaved, courteous
and considerate. You go to another home where everyone is fighting like cats
and dogs.
 In countries where the government and political environment is honest,
generally you will find that the people are honest, law abiding and helpful.
And the reverse is true too. In a corrupt environment, an honest person has a
tough time. Whereas in an honest environment, the corrupt one has a tough
time.
 In a positive environment, a marginal performer's output goes up. In a
negative environment, a good performer's output goes down.
 Culture in any place always goes top down, never bottom up. We need to
step back and look at what kind of environment we have created for
ourselves and those around us.
 It is tough to expect positive behavior in a negative environment. Where
lawlessness becomes the law, honest citizens become cheats, crooks and
thieves.Isn't it time to evaluate the environment that we are in or we have
created for others?
www.shivkhera.com
2.Experiences
 Our behavior changes according to our experiences with
people and events in our life.
 If we have a positive experience with a person, our attitude
toward him becomes positive and vice versa.
3. Education
 I refer to both formal and informal education, not just
academic qualifications. Knowledge strategically applied
translates into wisdom, ensuring success.
 I talk of education in the broader sense. It makes the role
of the ; educator vital. A teacher affects eternity.
 The ripple effect is immeasurable.
 We are drowning in information but starving for
knowledge and wisdom. Education ought to teach us not
only how to make a living but also how to live.
www.shivkhera.com
 Just like an absence of ill health does not
equal good health, an absence of negativity
alone does not make a person positive.
 People with positive attitudes have certain
personality traits that are easy to recognize.
 They are caring, confident, patient, and
humble. They have high expectations of
themselves and others. They anticipate
positive outcomes.
 A person with a positive attitude is like a fruit
of all seasons. He is always welcome.
www.shivkhera.com
 These are many and easy to see. But what is easy to see is also
easy to miss. To mention a few, benefits of a positive attitude
 ¨ increases productivity
 ¨ fosters teamwork
 ¨ solves problems
 ¨ improves quality
 ¨ makes for congenial atmosphere
 ¨ breeds loyalty
 ¨ increases profits
 ¨ fosters better relationships with employers, employees, and
customers
 ¨ reduces stress
 ¨ helps a person become a contributing member of society and
an asset to their country
 ¨ makes for a pleasing personality.
www.shivkhera.com
 Our life is an obstacle course and we become our
own biggest obstacle by having a negative attitude.
 People with a negative attitude have a hard time
keeping friendship , jobs, marriage and relationship.
Their attitude leads to
 ¨ bitterness
 ¨ resentment
 ¨ a purposeless life
 ¨ ill health
 ¨ high stress level for themselves and others
 They create a negative environment at home and
work and become a liability to society.
 They also pass on their negative behavior to others
around them and to future generations.
