Attitude makes habits, Habits makes character and character makes a man



World comprises of billions of people. Majority of them are anonymous, while few persons are capable of making impressions all over the world. Why they became famous??  What qualities placed them at different position than others? Why they could be able to succeed in their life and others not ? They all are the products of same society but some of them able to make their way amid all negatives and some are caught in the vicious circle of Negativity. As bad roads make good drivers in the same way those people who take these impediments as a stepping stone rather than stopping stone, succeeded in the way of their life. The factor which plays a candid role in making "personality" of any person is his/ her Attitude. Person's Attitude determines, where he will be placed in future. To what extent a man can go, totally depends on how he takes the things. A positive attitude can accomplish the impossible while negative attitude can drag a man to nadir. William James of Harvard university said, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind."

Our attitude towards things take the shape of 'habits'. If we approach the things positively, it imbibe positive habits which in turns make our benign Character. And our character makes us great. And ‘character’ of a person is the most valuable asset which can decide his status in the society. A person with good character is always respected , while person with nasty character always recieves  cast aspersions on his character. People with bad character even sometimes face estrange and they get ostracised from the society. It is aptly said that "If wealth is lost, nothing is lost; if health is lost, something is lost; if character is lost, everything is lost."

Attitude of people also impacts on their mindset. Things which people repeatedly do become habits and when habits are applied in daily routines becomes Mindset. if a person is visionary then he could imbibe good habits to form their constructive mindset and can excel to become a "man". While destructive mindset can produce a monster which can be detrimental for other people in society.

Inculcating good Attitude is tough albeit it is possible, if it is taken care since the inception of childhood days. Right attitude comes from the ethical values, moral principles and positive approach of pragmatic life. In indian society itself, we can find many 'walking encyclopedia'. It is because knowing facts and figures can not make you great, but the things which we do and the etiquette which you have instilled from the childhood mostly by virtue of good family norms and good ethos play unprecedented role in achievements of a person. A foreign versity based survey shows that In a person's success, facts, figures and bookish knowledge have subtle impact ( only 15 %), while Attitude contributes 85 % in person's success.  Attitude is intangible and can't be bought or sold. It can not be learned by reading books or by joining classes. It can be imbibe through our environment in which we are living ,through the family etiquette and through our positive perspective in taking up the pragmatic problems and resolving them through legal norms.

Without right attitude, it is impossible to generate aptitude because Attitude is the manner in which we approach a situation. Aptitude is our ability to handle a situation. Without right attitude it can not be possible to draw cogent aptitude towards any situation. Sustained habits can help in forming right aptitude, consequently a man can become a successful person by making a foundation of good character and a person with good character is respected around the globe.

Attitude of a man can classify him as an optimist or a pessimist. If a person has bad or negative attitude he will see everything as unachievable while person with right or positive attitude can have optimistic view and can even accomplish the improbable. It is because right attitude can make a good character of a human being. Right attitude always absorbs good habits, and a person with good habits can make an edifice of good character which can achieve the things beyond impossible.

Greater personage of all time achieved their goal only by their positive attitude. Dr. A.P.J. abdul kalam has said " You can't change your future, But you can change your habits, and surely your habits will change your future." We can change our destiny by inculcating good habits and by altering our attitude towards situations and problems. A pessimist can take problems as obstruction in the way of success, but an optimist can take those problems as step ladder as he knows when god wants to send a gift he wraps it up in a problem, The bigger the problem he wraps it up in, the bigger the gift that it contains.

Attitude of mind can bring leniency in the habits of a person. Habits which are expedient for the people in society can augment peace in the society, if there is peace in the society , there will be peace in the country, and if there is peace in the country, there will be peace in the whole world. Today, we lack people with good attitude, and their bad habits laid by deteriorated attitude becomes the cause of their worse face. Habits which are laid by positive attitude can makes a man for the serene society.

In nutshell we can say that it is positive Attitude of a person which can fill him with good habits, and their good habits can make him great. It is hunky-dory if u have factual knowledge but it will be all in vain without making your habits suitable which successively will underlay the foundation of good character. Character is the biggest part of man's success can be gain in toto without any currency.
