ATTITUDE AS A TOOL FOR EXCELLENCE
It is often said that your attitude determines your altitude. Permit me to tweak that a bit by saying “Skill determines your Altitude, Attitude maintains your Altitude.
So let’s talk about 3 attitudes every excellent person possesses:
1 – Punctuality: Time is Life, when you waste time, you waste life. Time is an irrecoverable resource of Life. An excellent attitude isn’t just about showing up, it is about the when also. Don’t just show up for things, show up early.
2 – Careful attention to details: Whether it’s in your dressing, or in delivering a task, you must pay careful attention to details. A little polishing of your shoe, a little ironing and wearing deodorant, a little second, and if need be, the third read of your work, because if it is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
3 – Teachable disposition: Nobody knows everything and those who excel are not necessarily those who got it right the first time but in many cases, those who got it wrong and were open to correction.
So we can safely say that to your ABILITY add an Excellent ATTITUDE.
