This discussion is mainly about do you agree on the subject as mentioned. is the attitute can decide the work done effectively and efficiency? Let me share my experience in my current company. A lot of the users keep complaining the system can't functioned as per their expectation. It actually happen to me when i first day joining the company. After spend few weeks to explore the system, i actually noticed that the system actually is very useful and it help me to resolve a lot of issues. Maybe it can't help me in a straight forward as i expected but it can provide me the alternative way and all these actually already incorporate in the system and ready for the users. Unfortunately, those users only know sit at their place and complaining the system. Besides, they also refuse to put in effort to learn up the system and due to this reason, there are a lot of issues arise :(

I think allot of the issues that we face in the work place are usually in the mind, which I guess what you could call attitude. I mean, if you take the attitude that the job is a positive and you can learn from it, you'll find that you will find things more rewarding. On the other hand, if you find that the job is hell, chances are, it will be a hell for you and you won't get anything out of it. Attitude is a frame of mind and the ability to get the mind to overcome things. Let's use the running analogy. When you run, your body will feel tiered and sore. The pain in your body will be telling you to stop. However, if your attitude is to carry on,ie your mind tells you to keep going and your body goes ahead, it will. Eventually, you will be able to run further and faster. Likewise, with a job, there will be times when your mind needs to tell the rest of you to keep going at the job and giving your best. Eventually, you will become better or else you will get the sack. Of course, there are times, when things are not in the mind or a question of attitude. You may genuinely not be good at certain things no matter how hard you try. However, if you'll never know unless you've made it a point to try until its obvious that you're not playing to your strengths.

I agree, I can only speak for myself and my attitude, on my present job yes, if I have a positive attitude I work better, but now I have one of those, I don't give a hoot attitude, for a certain reason, which I will not go into, and right now I really don't even care whether my co-workers do a good job or not, I try to do my best at everything, but if they are doing wrong I let them, because I feel like it not my job to tell them difference.

Hi Chevee, thanks for the response. I actually also having similar problem as you. I do noticed that my attitude has changed due to some one else in the office. Last time, i used to work aggressively when facing any challenge, but now, when there is an issue, i only will take a look, think about it then directly tell the user whether i can do it or not. Previously, i will try a lot of testing in order to get the solution.

I cann't agree it more.whatever things we are doing,attitude is very important for us to accomplish the work. I wanted to improve my English from very early days,but I gave it up many times for all kinds of slight things.now,my english is also not very good,I often made grammar mistakes and spelling mistakes.however,this time,I decide to try my efforts to overcome any difficulties I will encounter. I listen to the English programme every day,talk with people at mylot in English.although I often make mistakes and make others misunderstood,I try to practise it,and try to learn more from my mistakes. hope you enjoy here at mylot also,all the best to you!

Hi summerrain, really thanks for your response. Yes, since i was still in my college, i did notice that attitude is very important in order for us in our daily life. Whatever we do, regardless whether interact with community or doing our own stuff, attitude did play an important role. Different attitude will lead us to different outcome. I respect you as you willing to put so much effort to improve your English. All the best to you too :)
