Power of attitude - how to transit to positive attitude?

Every one of us has free will. Depending upon how we use it in associating with what kind of objects or persons we condition or mould ourselves accordingly. Eg: We take to smoking when provoked by so called friend, after sometime we become addicted or taking another example, say, someone is given to complaining. One can acquire such a nature by doing two things: Firstly, by complainging and secondly, by associating with those who complain. In due course of time, that person succumbs to his own acquired nature of complaining although he is totally disinclined and want to quit. Similarly in childhood and youth by our own free will we find shelter in a particular attitude or a set of ways of responding. Soon that becomes an integral part of our personality. Attitude is our perception and verbal or physical action that follows in accordance to that perception.

History has witnessed how different perceptions have led to different results. William Bleigh, "We both read Bible day and night but you read black and I read white." Hitler read the same Bible which Mother Teresa read but their conclusions were diagonally opposite. Its the same text but some conclude we are the chosen ones and everyone else should be subordinate and others learn to love, be compassionate and merciful towards the humanity. Its a sheer difference of their perceptions or their attitudes. So the hatred of Hitler led to  one of the most hineous and ghastly acts.

Positive attitude is to see the potential of doing something good even in the most unfavourable conditions. Whatever technology we are using today is mostly the outcome of positive attitude possessed by some people. Wright brothers saw a bird and they said men should also fly. They were simple farmers. People laughed at them and at their attempts to accomplish impossible, impractical and unreasonable. They were criticised for every failure. But today flying we take it for granted.

Thomas Edison failed for over 9000 times in discovering electric bulb. But at every failure he rejoiced that he has a learnt another way how electric bulb wont work. That's exactly what perception is. Someone else would have given up after 20-50 trials, remorseful over continous failures.This is the power of positive attitude.
