[博主按：在学校教员办公区门口的广告板上，一张题为“Attitude”的复印件一直占据着一角之地，看来大家都不舍得把它揭下来或覆盖掉，于是我也忍不住把它拿过来与大家共享一下(中文翻译谨供参考)。]

ATTITUDE

        The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

    随着岁月的增长，我越发意识到态度对生活的影响。对我而言，态度比事实重要，比经历、教育、金钱、环境、失败、成功，比人们能想到或做到的任何事或物，都更为重要。态度比外表、天赋、技巧重要，它可以建立起公司、教堂和家庭，也可以使之毁灭。很显然，我们每天都要选择以何种态度对待。我们不能改变过去，不能改变人们以某种特定方式行事的事实，不能改变必然。我们唯一能做的就是拨动一根属于我们的琴弦，这就是我们的态度……我深信，生命的10%来自外部影响，而90%取决于我的回应。这也同样适用于你……我们应对自己的态度负责。
