Let each letter of the alphabetic has a value equals to it sequence of the alphabetical order:
Attitude structure
Attitudes consist of three related components:1.An emotional component consisting
of emotional reactions toward, or feelings about the attitude object.
2.A cognitive component consisting of thoughts and beliefs about the attitude object.
3.A behavioural component consisting of actions toward the attitude object.
Components of Attitude:• Affective = feelings about
the attitude object. • Behavioural =
predisposition to act towards the attitude object in a certain way.
• Cognitive = beliefs about the attitude object.
• Any given attitude may be based in lesser or greater amounts on any of these components
Where do attitudes come from?
• Some attitudes seem to reflect stable, internal dispositions of the individual
– i.e., ‘ways of seeing the world’
• Broad attitudinal dispositions might have a shared genetic basis
• This is most likely for ‘gut-preferences’:
– For example, feelings of disgust at certain smells or foods

A positive attitude allows a person to create the life they want because they are not afraid to see things as they really are and work to create their own reality.
Positive Attitude
Explicit V. Implicit Attitudes
Once we have developed an attitude (an orientation to some object), this attitude can exist in a number of states:
1.Explicit attitudes: – The evaluations we consciously express.
2.Implicit attitudes: – Involuntary responses to the attitude object.

Explicit V. Implicit Attitudes
• Our explicitly expressed attitude and our implicit reactions can be the same thing.
• But, there can also be a difference between what people say and what they think or believe
• Raises questions about attitude measurement
• Raises possibilities for studying attitudes
Attitude functionAttitudes will fluctuate in order to serve our current
needs.Four major functions1.Utilitarian function
- Helps person to achieve rewards and gain approval from others
2. Knowledge function- Attitudes can be used as a “frame of reference” for organizing the world so that it makes sense - For example, we perceive knowledge that contradicts our views with suspicion, thus forming a negative impression of that source of information (Giner-Sorolla & Chaiken, 1997).
Attitude function3. Ego-defensive function
- Helps to cope with emotional conflicts and protect and enhance one’s self-esteem.- E.g., one’s job not going well, can blame colleagues or his boss, this negative orientation towards the people he or she blames protects one from acknowledging painful truths.
4. Value-expressive function- Help to express central values and core aspects of self-concept.- For example, if you are a person who firmly believes in fair treatment and equality towards others, you’ll most likely have a positive attitude towards particular political parties and a negative attitude towards others.

GOOD ATTITUDE
Good Attitude Plays A Vital Role
Good work attitude is important for the increase of success at work. Any company or concerns that are looking for good employees and workers will look only for the person who has got good work attitude
DEVELOP
How to develop such good work attitude?
Say You Can Do it Never Say it’s not Possible Do Not Complain With Your Work Hard Work Plan your Work
Behavior
A person’s behavior is the way they act in general,
especially in relation to the situation they are in
or the people they are with.
Attitudes + behaviour• Part of the interest in attitudes is due to the
assumption that people act in accordance with their attitudes:
• Companies spend ridiculous amounts of money on advertising campaigns designed to change people’s attitudes toward their products.
• Political parties closely monitor opinion polls to try and gauge the mood of the community and the likely outcome of elections.
• Do attitudes really predict behaviour?
Attitudes + behaviour
• Later research confirmed the gap:– E.g., Wicker (1969) reviewed research on the
attitude-behaviour link
– Although the two were usually positively related, the relationship was typically small (average r = .15).
• Evidence for weak relationships between attitudes and behaviour prompted 2 responses:1. Attitudes are a load of rubbish!
2. Attitudes are related to behaviour, but the relationship is more complex
Attitudes + behaviour: The full story
1.Not all attitudes should be related to behaviour:• Specific attitudes should predict
behaviour better then general attitudes
• Strong (accessible) attitudes should predict behaviour better than weak attitudes.
2.Other variables are involved in the attitude-behaviour relationship

Attitudes + Behaviour: The full story
• Research using more complete models have provided a better account of the attitude behaviour relationship:
• Attitudes are related to behaviours – but not directly.
• Attitudes affect behaviour - in combination with norms, control beliefs, and intentions.
• In addition to being a theoretical improvement, this approach has also proven to be very practical.

Only in the dimensions!

Belief & Behavior
• Accept your limitations.• But be aware of your qualities & strengths. • Change your beliefs, and you change your
behaviour. • Change your behaviour, and you change your results,
and your life itself.• Self-limiting beliefs are learnt behaviours. Anything
that is learnt can be unlearnt as well. • List all negative beliefs. Replace them with the
positive.• Begin. Take the first step which is the most difficult. • Anything worth doing is worth failing at, until you
get it right.
Overcome your anxiety.

SLOW PERFORMANCE
• (Don’t doze off, brother, wake up)
• Also, be not a pretender. Be a performer.
• Being busy is irrelevant. It is performance that matters.
• Slow performance and under-performance are bad enough.
• Non-performance takes the cake: it is plain theft.
Annihilate these assumptions:
• Inefficiency is normal.• Delays are inbuilt &
cannot be cut down.• Performance will not be
rewarded.• Only manipulators will
get ahead.• We are made this way &
things just won’t improve.
• Things will get only worse.
• Nothing can be done.
“Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.”- Dan Stanford

may be necessary before planned construction Dare! Innovate!

• Dare to be different. Discovery follows exploration.
• Challenge the givens & the.• Never mind that you didn’t
succeed.

The worst possible curse. That one is, in any language.
Learn to like and enjoy the work.
Any work, just any work, can be made interesting.
There is always a better way of doing things.
Do your work creatively. Import fun into it.
If you see only problems you will have only problems!
• “Every solution contains a problem within it.” syndrome.
• “Suppose we win?” • “If anything can go
wrong, it will.”
Weighing problem!
• A man carrying a baby wanted to weigh the baby in a scale.
• “Our baby weighing machine has gone for repairs. But we can weigh the baby on the general weighing machine,” the sales attendant offered.
• “How will you do that?” asked the man.• “Simple. We do it all the time. The father first
stands on the weighing machine with the baby. Then he stands without the baby.”
• “It won’t work,” said the man, looking disappointed.
• “Why?”• “Well, you see I’m the baby’s uncle, not his
father.”
Mind half-used…
Look at pbms as challenges. Success often presents itself as an alluring challenge.
Most problems are produced, or left unsolved, by half-used minds.
Face pbms with keenness & from a new direction, each time.
Don’t jump to the obvious solution. (‘This is the tallest peak!’ syndrome)
Challenge what is accepted. You will find a whole new world of possibilities uncovered.
Every problem has a lifespan..
Know the stage at which it is . Compartmentalize. Prioritise. Recognize the minor hassles from the major
ones. Know what to worry about & what to take coolly.
Take one step at a time. Deal with them in small bits.
No knee-jerk reactions. No short-term patches. The real obstacles are not the pbms themselves,
but the wrong approaches to finding the solutions.
Think solution, not problem.
See a solution, where others see a pbm. There is a solution to every problem.
Try to solve, not prolong. Ascertain the facts. Have an uncluttered mind. Cut out the
extraneous. Identify the core. Face the issue head on. Take it on
without breaking step. While with major pbm, stay detached. Intractable? Sleep over it . Let it work
its way out.
Cursing a flat tyre does not fix it.
• ‘If you can’t go over the hill, go around it. Digging a tunnel is a clear option, if going to the other side is all that necessary.’
• The solution often lies in identifying the solvers.
• Take help where needed. ‘If something seems far too big, maybe it’s because you’re meant to share the load with someone else.’
• Look for solutions where you will find them. (Mullah story)
‘Gangrene cannot be cured with palliatives.’
Face pbms resolutely. Gordian knots may have to be cut.
Extra-ordinary pbms call for extra-ordinary solutions.
Weeding out is necessary for a good crop.
“Sometimes it is necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.”/
Nothing great was ever achieved by
Sitting Still.
* Progress has always come from people who said it could be done.
* “I can’t”- are sad words in any language.
* Whatever you can dream, you can begin.
* Put passion, enthusiasm & zeal into everything you do.
* Keep pushing. It’s wiser than sitting aside.
Think your work is important.
• The way we think towards our jobs determines how our subordinates think towards their job
Rules are for human beings, not the other way round.
Don’t be rule-bound. Interpret the rules positively.
Let them enable, and not inhibit, you.
Precedents should be guides, not fetters.
Good people follow the rules. But, it is often the unscrupulous who quote the rules.
Breaking norms in order to frame better ones is an option to be explored.
DON’T BE IN SELF-DOUBT.
• Feel & act confident. Stand by your convictions.
• Be positively assertive, when you are in the right.
• Where speech is due, silence may be betrayal.
• Insist on your right to be heard & reckoned. But, be accommodative of the other point of view.
• “Don’t say ‘yes’ when you want to say ‘no’ .
Thinking first, action only then.
• Act by all means, but only after considering all relevant matters.
• Don’t make decisions based on just one or two dimensions. (“Many a fellow in love with a dimple…”)
• Don’t act impulsively.• If you have to act, act fast
& decisively.
Integrity signifies wholeness
‘Integrity’ means absence of inner warfare.
It gives extra energy & clarity of thought.
It means – living up to the best in oneself. having a developed sense of
honour. having a conscience & listening
to it. having the courage of one’s
convictions. obedience to the unenforceable.
In doing a good deed take it that everything is permitted which is not
prohibited.

• Be alert to the first signs of change.
• Feel obligated to effect the change.
• Look at opportunities that change represents.
• Keep renewing yourself. Don’t allow routines to become chains.
• Keep managing the present while managing the change.
Be physical. Be dynamic.
•Take care of the body. It takes care of the mind.•Physical well-being gives you stamina, both physical & mental. •It makes you focussed. •It makes you optimistic & confident to face the challenges of life.
Learn from the past. Focus on the
future. Be in the present. Enjoy.
• The past is finished. Learn from it & let it go.
• The future is not even here yet. Plan for it, but do not waste time worrying about it.
• Live in the present. Enjoy its joys.
• How many crores of pleasures you have created for us, oh our Lord!
Relish the journey!
• There is more to life than running non-stop.
• Happiness is all along, not merely at the destination. The joys along the route are perhaps more delightful..
• If you are enjoying the journey, you are not upset by a delayed arrival.
• Count your blessings. One rarely appreciates one’s blessings as much as when they are gone.
“We don’t laugh because we are happy.
We are happy because we laugh.”
• Control your emotions by your actions.• Be cheerful, in order to feel cheerful. • Act brave, in order to be brave.• Want a facelift? Smile. It’s the duty you owe
others.
Don’t just throw out a vice. Replace it with a virtue.
• Sow an action, you reap a habit. Sow a habit, you reap a character. Sow a character,you reap a destiny.
• “As we become drunkards by so many separate drinks, so we become saints & authorities & experts by so many separate acts & hours of work.”
• How to break a habit or acquire it ? Break off abruptly & with all emphasis.
• Abrupt acqn of the new habit is the best way, if there be a real possibility of carrying it out.
Work energises.
• Strenuous application of effort anywhere - even on hobbies or games - provides the bonus of energy.
• Make as many of your actions automatic as possible. The more actions we make automatic, the more energy we have left for creative work & pbm-solving.
Pleasantness is the duty we owe others.
• Be natural & humble.• Drain off your
grievances.• Sincerely attempt to
heal.• Acquire the quality of
easygoingness.• What is practical is
just.• Relax, for easy power.• Never allow things to
ruffle you.

(or person) in the right place.• Put in place proper systems.• What gets measured gets
done.

Plant seeds of thinking. Let people think in a breakthrough fashion.
Institutionalize imbibing ideas & suggestions.
Acknowledge & reward good ideas.
Honour errors resulting out of experimenting.
Create a dream & make the team go towards it.
Why crib, when you can think positive?(!)
Boss to the cribbing employees:
• “It’s quite simple… just think positive and most of your problems will just fade away..!
But,thinking is not enough...Goodness not translated into action is
no goodness.
“Thought that does not lead to action is betrayal.”
“I receive & I must give back.”And this is the pay back time.
• Life is not about how much you make but how you live it.
• How you make a difference is what will matter.
• Each one of us is a debtor. We have taken so much from the system.
• It is but fair that we pay back the debt, with interest and do it fast.
• Perhaps it is already late. Better hurry up.

way for all people all of the time
