'If u want to be successful, you got to be ready to be uncomfortable'
I remember reading this quote in an article on 'Attitude is everything'. I think this is one of the truest statements of life. We tend to become complacent and want to continue in our comfort zone. It is really when we come out of this zone that we find success.
If we talk about inspiration from movies, one movie ' 3 idiots' has really been a great source of inspiration. The 'All is well' phase is nothing but an attitude only. We can't avoid facing a problem and certainly need to keep our cool. It takes time to build an attitude, but we can make a start today for a better tomorrow.
Well, in the same breath I would want to clarify that just having the attitude only wouldn't take you places. More so, if we tend to carry the wrong attitude, our lives are doomed.
I met a lot of candidates for job interviews who do mention 'positive attitude' as their strength but only a few could give any substantial example when asked about it. For me, it would be to continuing work on the goal with the same focus even in a situation where odds of success are low.
Take a look at Sachin Tendulkar's statistics...over 2 decades of sportsmanship (21 years, to be precise!)...plethora of records...yet his hunger for performance is all time high. I guess that is what indeed true performance is.
I am great fan of Virender Sehwag too. He got his own aggressive style which is his trademark. He can't be successful all the time but he doesn't let the failure affect his attitude / approach to the game. He continues to be a bowler's nightmare. There is indeed a fine line between attitude and over-confidence. We need to ensure that the latter doesn't overtake the former.
One more attitude we need to develop is ' do it right, the first time'. We save a lot of precious time if we get the job done correctly in the first go.
So, it is important not only to have an attitude, but also to have the RIGHT ATTITUDE.
I leave you with this thought – You might not have a good day everyday, but you can surely find something Good in everyday.
