TOPIC PRESENTED TO TAWASANET MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS DURING AGM HELD IN DODOMA FROM 8TH -9TH NOVEMBER 2012

Attitude
Knowledge and Skills arent enough.

Its your positive attitude which makes the difference.

What is attitude? - #1
On the surface, attitude is the way you

communicate your mood to others. When you are optimistic and anticipate successful encounters, you transmit a positive attitude and people usually respond favorably. When you are pessimistic and expect the worst, your attitude is often negative and people tend to avoid you.

What is attitude? - #2
Inside your head, where it all starts, attitude is a mind-set. It is the way you look at things mentally. Negative thinking can become a destructive habit. Watch your thoughts more closely, and aim to turn your negative self-attitude around.

THE CAN DO ATTITUDE

You CAN DO everything, but not all at once. You CAN DO everything, if its important enough for you to do. You CAN DO everything, but you may not be the best at everything. You CAN DO everything, but there will be limitations. You CAN DO everything, but youll need help.
13

BEST QUOTES ON POSITIVE ATTITUDE

A positive thought is the seed of a positive result. If you dont like something, change it. If you cant change it, change your attitude. Dont complain. The most significant change in a persons life is a change of attitude. Right attitudes produce right actions. If you really want to be happy, nobody can stop you. 14

BEST QUOTES ON POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Whether a glass if half-full or half-empty, depends on the attitude of the person looking at it. There is a better way for everything. Find it. A positive attitude is not a destination. It is a way of life. The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
15

BEST QUOTES ON POSITIVE ATTITUDE

The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible. The man with confidence in himself gains the confidence of others. You will only go as far as you think you can go. The biggest mistake of all is to avoid situations in which you might make a mistake.
16

BEST QUOTES ON POSITIVE ATTITUDE

A positive attitude is like a magnet for positive results. Our life is a reflection of our attitudes. Positive attitudes create a chain reaction of positive thoughts. Attitude, not aptitude, determines your altitude. No man fails if he does his best.
17

BEST QUOTES ON POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. A creative attitude is the fuel of progress and growth. Either I will find a way, or I will make one. Be the change you want to see in this world. Forgive others and you will be forgiven.

Building a positive attitude

William James of Harvard University said: The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
