The key to life is your attitude. Whether you're single or married or have kids or don't have kids it's how you look at your life what you make of it. It's about making the best of your life wherever you are in life.
We assume that we've come so far as compassionate citizens of the world if we do choose to read the news yet the attitude towards life can be one where we put blinders on and forget that there are civil wars going on. It's easy to forget that there are so many people starving to death every single day.
I have such an extreme attitude about work where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.
When you retire it's a place in life a part of the journey. You just don't quit work you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.
Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from and how they're made they never seem quite as sacred again.
My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering you remember where all the little bits are that don't meet. And then your friends say: It's terrific!
In individual industries where female labour pays an important role any movement advocating better wages shorter working hours etc. would not be doomed from the start because of the attitude of those women workers who are not organized.
Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well they embrace you.
I developed a nutty attitude where I'd think If some guy really loves me he doesn't care if I'm fat. I'd come up with all these stupid reasons why it would be OK to be fat.
What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see I'm a numbers guy that's my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming we are bankrupting this country and I'm in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That's exactly what I should be doing.
