Women Power.

Yesterday, during a talk on "Attitude" at a leading IT Company, I was very pleased to see...the first 2 rows were filled with women. The men preferred to sit back. When it came to participation, it was the women all the way and at the end during questions, I found almost all the women had a question and only one man had asked a question. Surely, a sign of things to come in the future.
The world has totally changed and the ratio of women at the top to men will be different soon. Even God, might like to be called "She" in the coming years.

Attitude.

During a presentation to faculty members, the definition of attitude came up. All the participants had their own understanding of 'Attitude.'

Is this not amazing ? It implies, we will have as many definitions of attitude as people. Hence, the biggest barrier to moving forward together, is the disconnect amongst everyone due to the different definitions of attitude carried by each one of us.

What is the solution ? One definitely, cannot have an "universal" definition communicated and understood by everyone. Instead of trying to teach everyone to carry or interpret the definition of attitude...it would be more prudent...to highlight the importance of attitude in life.

As William James said: The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude.


Focus needs to move from defining attitude to highlighting the impact of attitude in one's life.
