Hey guys!😃

I was just enjoying my cup of coffee with a newspaper in my hand when my eye caught up with a quotation on a page "

Attitude is a little thing which makes a huge difference ". A thought suddenly came over my mind. I thought why not to discuss what means the most.So, here I am posting this discussion. Let's start the war of views, share your opinions and prove your points.😊 Attitude VS Aptitude

"

The strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice " - George Eliot

One dictionary defines aptitude as "

natural tendency or talent ; ability ". The same dictionary defines attitude as " a way of thinking, acting or feeling ".

I understand this to mean that aptitude enables a person to perform a task while atttitude determines how a person performs that task.

Which is more important?

Of the many things that determines the levels of success and happiness that a person is able to achieve in life, the foremost is attitude. It is also the one factor that is most within your control.

What determines your attitude?

Your choice.

You may have inherited a predisposition to a certain general attitude towards life from your parents or your cultural heritage ; but you can , by consious effort , train yourself to change your attitude.By using your mind, your ability to think , you become a creator of circumstances ,rather than a creature of circumstances.

Sometimes, even the difference between life and death can simply be a matter if attitude. The survival rate of cancer patients ( and those with other terminal illness ) has proven to often depend on nothing more than their attitude. Likewise, people who get caught up in disasters often survive because of an attitude of faith, hope or optimism while people right beside them perish because of an attitude of hopelessness or negativity.

According to me, Attitude is more important.

"

Attitude is the mind's paintbrush, it can colour any situation ".

Your attitude is the one basic characteristic which makes you different. People experience different attitudes within themselves or others.Attitude is the thing which gives the first impression about your personlaity. We need to keep our attitude a meticulously considerable one so people might have a good effect from us. Our impacts on other people's minds and thinkings is precisely the conclusion derived from our attitude and apperance.

What do you think about this?

In your point of view, which is more important? Attitude or Aptitude?

If you choose Attitude,why do you think it means more?

What do you think are the major things which play a role in changing your attitude?

Do give your feedback and review at my post and please do participate in the discussion.😳

Take care.😳

Loadssa Love,

Sammy

I think this is a great discussion, wonder why no one's replying?! 😕

I think if you see it in the context of securing jobs etc, aptitude is more important, for that matter even while choosing a stream after 10th grade, aptitude is more important. If you do not like science, it makes no sense to take science. But ultimate success is given by your attitude.

A topper of 12th board exam may not be as successful as an avg student mainly beacuse of their attitude. So I think aptitude is important before taking the decisions, but at the end attitude matters.

And the best part is aptitude cannot be shaped, attitude can be! 😛
