Attitude...aptitude...!!

Although aptitude is important, I always give more importance to attitude of the person. An aptitude for something is the innate potential to acquire a skill with practice and developing it and attitude is a set of beliefs and opinions about anything. Negative attitude could be dangerous but yes, positive attitude in one's own beliefs is most desirable. A positive attitude helps us cope more easily with our daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into our life, and makes iteasier to avoid worries, helps us solve our problems and avoid negative thinking. Positive thinking helps us with stress management and can even improve our health. I strongly believe that a positive attitude is far better than a high skill level, in almost every situation. Technical aptitude alone is insufficient... although aptitude may give us success to some extent, our attitude determines what and how much we can do, and how far we will go in the path of success and achievement.
