“Your attitude, not your aptitude determines your
altitude”-Zig Ziglar
Psychologists define attitude as a learned tendency
to evaluate things in a certain way. This can include how you evaluate people,
how you address issues, how you confront other, how you respond to events etc.
Your aptitude defines your natural ability or tendency. Your altitude describes
the heights of your bar.
As a matter of fact, your researchers also
discovered that there are several different components that make up attitudes
and relating them to this concept, we have a few as;
- a. An emotional component: How one feels about a circumstance or an event especially that related to your past glories and present histories.
- b. A cognitive component: What you think is real or factual about an incidence, be it a vision you dream to achieve.
- c. A behavioural component: How your evaluations influence your actions.
An attitude could be explicit or implicit. Explicit
attitude is the kind with which we are fully conscious of it and it influences
our behavioural patterns in our awareness. Implicit attitudes remain
unconscious and yet still also influence our sense of beliefs.
Based on few experience, we choose to evaluate
things in certain ways. That is our attitude. Many people have negative
attitudes that tells them that “it’s impossible” and it’s very unfortunate
these are the people who remain static because their negative attitudes have an
influence on their motion to raise their bars
