The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.

When someone speaks we ought to get three things out of the message. First and least important (but still very important), we ought to get what is said.
