This month’s #NoblesvilleWorks soft skill is attitude. Attitude can affect how people see you and your personality. Attitude also has an effect on whether you react to something in a negative or a positive way.
When you’re studying and have a negative attitude, it can get in your way. If you have a positive attitude, you’re more likely to succeed. For example, when you’re taking a test, if you have a bad attitude, you won’t try as hard, and you’ll probably be unhappy with your score. If you have a positive attitude, you will be happy with your score, because you know you did your best.
To have a good attitude in sports, you need to be a good sport and a good teammate. If you show a good attitude in sports, people will see you are fully paying attention and you’re ready to practice or play the game. But if you have a bad attitude, people will see that you don’t always work hard or support your teammates.
Attitude can also affect if others want to be friends with you. When you have a good attitude, you can understand your friends’ perspectives better, and you can solve problems in a much calmer manner. But when you have a bad attitude, you can’t understand your friends’ thoughts and opinions because you’re too focused on what you want. If you have a better attitude, you can be a better friend.
A positive attitude can help you in school, sports, friendships and more. As long as you have a positive attitude and are willing to work hard, you can accomplish anything.
