A positive attitude makes a difference
Everyone has different experiences. Some are successful, while some fail. Some are always happy, while some are often sad. All this depends on their attitude to life.
Attitude can also greatly affect learning efficiency. A good attitude can help people learn quickly as they will try new ways to solve problems. But those with a bad attitude will find learning more difficult and often do not try their best.
People facing the same situation often react differently. For instance, if an optimist fails an exam, it will drive them to work harder and pass it the next time. Their concerns on this matter won't last long. But pessimistic students may think failure proves they are useless and can never get good results again. They may lose confidence which could even affect their future.
We can't control things that happen in our lives, but we can control our own attitude. So, now is the time to start developing a positive attitude.
