I met up with long time buddy Tianpeng again and we were on the way home together after dinner when we discussed the subject of individual and corporate management. During our exchange, he enquired, "do you know what drives people to success?"
"It is attitude that drives one to accomplishment", I said. Then referring to my past, I took myself as an example and explained that it was my wrong attitude that led to my downfall during my rebellious days.
"No, you had the right attitude but it was your thinking that led you astray." Tianpeng suggested, "do you know why I said it was your thinking that led you astray and not your attitude?"
I gave him the queer eye and asked for his explanation. "You see," He explained, "attitude is like action, and before every action there is thought, so you think before you move right?"
"Yes, that does make sense... and?" I asked.
"So there must have been something that distracted you along the way and changed your thoughts, then, along with it changed your attitude." Tianpeng quipped, then waited for my protest.
I couldn't help but agree, for once, he got me at my own game. *Tsk tsk~* My my, what wise words from a friend. Moral of the story, it is your thoughts that decide your attitude, not your attitude that affects your thoughts.
