ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING


Attitude is defined by one dictionary as manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, especially of the mind.

One can have a Negative Attitude or Positive Attitude.

Attitude is a personal decision to make everyday and in every situation you face.

One of the most important steps you can take toward achieving your greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor your attitude and its impact on your work performance, relationships and everyone around you. 

Your Attitude determines your Altitude in life. 

We all have a choice. We can choose an inner dialogue of self-encouragement and self-motivation, or we can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity. It’s a power we all have. Each of us encounters hard times, hurt feelings, heartache, and physical and emotional pain. The key is to realise it’s not what happens to you that matters; it’s how you choose to respond. 

I am here to challenge you this morning.  As a people we need to change our attitude. You may have great talent but if your attitude is bad you will not go far in whatever you do.  Examples, Laryea Kingston was a great player but missed the world cup in 2006 because of attitude, Mario Ballotali is a great player but struggles wherever he goes because of attitude and Ghana is not developed even though we have everything simply because of attitudes. 

Our attitude towards God, Our attitude towards fellow Humans, Our attitude towards time, Our attitude towards work, Our attitude towards money, Our attitude towards environment and cleanliness and Our attitude towards defeat or failure need to change else we will go nowhere. 

We have 365 days in a year and each presents new opportunities for us. It means in a year we have 365 opportunities. Why are you unemployed? Why are we poor as town, district or a nation? ATTITUDE! 

Remember both the rich and the poor have 24 hours a day, 12 months a year, about 54 weeks in a year and 365 days in a year yet the poor is poor and the rich is rich. Think about it...

FINAL SPEECH- EDITED

Image
Good Evening everybody! I will be ungrateful if I do not thank God for bringing me this far. I also want to use this opportunity to thank; 1. The management of SEND SL for the opportunity given me to serve in the capacity as FAM 2. The staff of SEND SL, especially Gumah, Mr. Osman, Lansana and Ann who prepare the way for me. 3. My Pastor friends: Pastor Songu, Pastor Ken Ful lah, Pastor Adu, Rev. Mrs Baihinga 4. And the Family of Mr. and Mrs. Osman Daniel Kamara for making me feel at home in Kailahun. Greatness starts with being good. “America is not strong because of its security nor their resources. America is great because it’s kind and good” said by President Obama. You cannot be a great leader when you cannot make those you are leading great. An important person is the one who makes others important and a great organization is the one that cares for its employees as much as it cares for its other stakeholders. Greatness begins with goodness... So for me, my great moments in K

THE 7 THINGS SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE NEVER SAY

Image
Y ou want to be successful. Everyone does. But your actual words might be undermining your chances of success. The things you say in the office, no matter how innocuous they seem to you, might be knocking you down the career ladder and putting the top position you dream about out of reach. Your career is too important to be tanked by a few negative phrases.  Here are the seven things you should strike from your workplace vocabulary if you want to achieve the success you richly deserve: 1. “That’s not in my job description.” When you accepted your current position, you had a good idea of what the responsibilities and workload of the role would entail. Throughout the months or years since you settled into your job, however, your role has expanded and changed shape. Some of these changes have probably been good, while others have made you wish for simpler times. When a boss or manager piles another responsibility on your already sore shoulders, it might be tempting to pull o

I AM NOT AFRAID TO BE TAGGED

Image
A section of Accra the Capital of Ghana In Ghana people fear to be tagged as;   Too known  Either NPP or NDC depending on what one says  By tagging, you are silence not to speak the truth. But I have come to appreciate the fact that, whatever you do people will talk anyway.   Secondly someone must take that "bad name" and do the talking.  We must know that Ghana come first, East Gonja come first before NDC or NPP. And one day we will give account to God.  This morning, I know people will call me NPP and my NDC friends will not be happy with me.  But the Bible said, He who knows the right thing and do "say" it not has sinned.  We as a people have become so selfish and self centered and the politicians are taking advantage of us yet we don't know.  We have become blinded with party coloures  that;  We can't talk about development anymore.  We can't appreciate what others have done  We are afraid to speak
