"The only disability in life is a bad attitude." -Scott Hamilton[/h3]
Two kids, Two Different Attitudes
My youngest daughter was helping me with breakfast last week for three days.
My oldest daughter is helping full time at the B&B now, but was not here for those days. She usually does what I ask her, some or most of the time, some of the time incorrectly. She has no attention to detail, I have to redo a lot. I get frustrated, a lot. She tries, some or most of the time. Many times when I get frustrated it is because she is trying to help, and it backfires.
My youngest daughter does not try as much, only when she has to. She tries in areas she cares about, but not when I ask. Does not wish to do what is told. Needs to be told over again. Has a bad attitude if told she did it incorrectly, or asked why she did it that way.
Both CAN have bad attitudes, like we all can. Like I do, some of the time.
I asked DH which is worse, one who tries and cannot do it right, but does what it asked, for the most part, or one who doesn't do what is asked, and has an attitude?
Therefore the quote at the top, which was his answer, and mine. Attitude really does make all the difference!
HOW IS YOUR ATTITUDE AFFECTING THOSE AROUND YOU TODAY?
Answer for me, I would rather have one who tries and fails with a good attitude, than one who can accomplish something with a bad attitude. It infects what I do like having a bad head cold, it clouds my thinking, and stops me in my tracks.
