On Attitude

Nothing can stop the person with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the person with the wrong mental attitude.

According to Mr. Webster, attitude is the way a person views something. It is the manner of thinking, feeling and acting that reveals one's disposition and opinion. Attitude plays an important role in sports. Athletes with a negative outlook will most likely have a not so good outcome compared to athletes with a positive outlook.

Attitude is how we perceive things. If we think we are going to lose even if the game has not started yet, then right there we have lost already. On the other hand, if we think we can take the opponent then at least there is confidence and we are a step closer to actually winning. Having a positive attitude is a habit. If we train with discipline then it will carry over to games. If we do things the right way then we will correctly master it. Then again, if we do things incorrectly many times then unconsciously mastering the wrong thing and it will be part of our system. Thus having the right attitude goes a long way. Even if we are not the most skilled team but we are really try our best and give our 100% plus effort then eventually we will improve.

Also, whenever we are in a bad situation, we should approach it in a positive way. We should always keep keep our heads up. If not, then the situation may become worse. On the other hand, if we approach the situation in positive way then somehow the light at the end of the end may be seen. If we hold onto a great attitude while we go through our present reality, we will be forming our next reality that is coming down the pipeline.

Ultimately, attitude is the key. Sadly, it is not something that can be thought or bought. Even if how much motivation or what so is planted in one's mind but the individual does not want to respond then there is nothing that can be done.
