Attitude.

Charles Swindoll wrote: 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 thin or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or s ill. It will ma e or !rea a company" a church" a home. The remar a!le thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will em!race for that day. #e cannot change our past" we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. #e cannot change the inevita!le. The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude" I am convinced that life is $%& what happens to me and '%& how I react to it. And so it is with you" we are in charge of our Attitudes.( This )uote can !e implemented in every aspect of our life. *ow many times do we feel li e life is $%%& a!out what happens to us+ ,ur attitude in dealing with life-s .un is not only a testament to our character, !ut it could !e what defuses a confrontation. #e choose our attitude a!out safety as well. #e can ma e a conscious choice to have a positive outloo on the safety efforts of /orwal 0eady 1i2, and we can also choose to not even thin a!out it. Ta e a moment to thin of the impact you and your attitude have on your fellow wor ers and our customers. Is it a positive impact+ ,r would others descri!e you as a downer+ #e now that often times the attitudes of our customers determine how well that pour is going to go. The thing we may forget however is that it wor s !oth ways. The fact of the matter is the attitude you have towards safety, towards customers, towards your .o! in general will show in the wor you put out. Ta e the attitude that you can ma e a difference in the safety of yourself and of your cowor ers. As always if you have a safety concern or if you see an issue that needs to !e addressed, .ust let your dispatcher or any other mem!er of management now and we will wor it out.
