"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the
past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than
successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than
appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church...
a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the
attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot
change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the
inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and
that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and
90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."
- Charles R. Swindoll (American Writer and Clergyman, b.1934)
