Positive Mental Attitude (PMA)

When a person succeeds in life - 85% of the time it is because of Positive Mental Attitude, 15% of the time because of what he is and what he knows. (Harvard University study).

Positive Mental Attitude helps us succeed in the corporate, as well as in the personal, world. The quality and effectiveness of our communication is a matter of our attitude. Our attitude affects our performance. How we think shows through how we act.

An attitude will reflects the way in which we evaluate various events and incidents. Everyone of us would likes to win. It takes self-discipline, sacrifice, hard work, honesty – and all this comes from a Positive Mental Attitude.

People with Positive Mental Attitude are confident, caring, and have trust in others. Its helps to achieve more with less (it avoids negative dissipation of time, energy and effort), helps to win friends and admirers.

A beautiful example:
3 men were laying bricks. When asked what they were doing, the following were the replies:
a) I am laying bricks,
b) I am building a wall,
c) I am building a hospital, where people will get cured.

Same task, different attitude, different approach to life.
